I want today to make a small reflection about a word that many people do not like to treat "holiness". Sometimes we hear about holiness, many think that nobody practices it that is pure religiosity and that today in the 21st century is a myth hard to carry. However the Bible says in Hebrews 12:14 "without holiness no one will see the Lord"
Follow peace with everyone and holiness without which no one will see the Lord. This is how our coexistence manual is established in the Bible.
- If this is so difficult how is it possible that the Bible affirms that if we do not have holiness, we will not see the Lord? _ It is obvious that when we go to the reality sadly we observe that this is not more than a theory in some.
Currently there are those who manage sanctity at will and even seem to have many interpretations, but biblically there is only one. Also the Bible clarifies in (2 Peter 1:20) The reason why "no prophecy of the Scripture is of private interpretation" is because "the prophecy was never brought by human will, but the holy men of God spoke by being inspired by the Spirit
Holiness has become a controversial issue for many Christians today, as some say they have no need to practice holiness because Christ already paid for us. However, when Jesus prayed for us to the father in John 17:17, he tells us that He said: "Sanctify them in your truth, your word is truth."
It is obvious that the Lord has called us to meditate on this and the church must have a real focus on holiness.
Really sanctity is a lifestyle that starts within the prsona. It is an interior change that is reflected on the outside, what Jesus calls "being born again" ."
¡It is possible to be born again of water and of the spirit!.

Holiness begins in being and manifests itself in doing, for that reason many people distort its meaning and believe that it is a question simply external and of religiosity, but really holiness has to do with renewal and transformation. It is impossible for a person not to understand that his old way of living can not lead him to reach even salvation, because if he does not change, he will always be there.
In this sense, holiness means separation from the world and sin, that is, consecrating oneself to God.
The call to holiness on the part of God is something very real very present very continuous no, it is something that occurred to someone, God said from the beginning, from Genesis to the apocalypse there is an insistence on the fact that the people of God must live a holy life.
God expects all his children to live in holiness, it is a universal call, it is a call to the life of the Christian.
