Only God is intrinsically holy (Revelation 15:4). God and sin cannot coexist together. We were created in the image of God—without sin. God intended us to remain separate from sin. It was His desire that we should never experience sin. Adam and Eve’s sin damaged the relationship between God and humanity, and stood in the way of that relationship. When we could no longer maintain a relationship with Him because of sin, He took the initiative. He provided the plan of redemption in order to solve the sin problem. In the person of Jesus Christ the relationship is restored.
Do we long for holiness? We explore some practical steps to help us to live holier lives.
