"I think one of the tragedies of modern Christianity is this: that we're more afraid of holiness than we are of sinfulness. We can tolerate sin, but boy, we get our hackles up when you talk about holiness." Leonard Ravenhill
Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord. Hebrews 12:14
But as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.” I Peter 1:15-16
For God has not called us for impurity, but in holiness. I Thessalonians 4:7
Who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began, 2 Timothy 1:9
