HOLINESS.
Can humans beings be holy? Yes, Bible teaches that humans can be holy. As indicated in my previous posts, certain essential qualities are required to be a holy person, without which is impossible to be a Christian and to be with GOD.
Numbers 15.40
40."So you shall remember and do all My Commandments, and you shall be holy to your GOD."
Deuteronomy 28.9
9."The Lord will establish you as His holy people as He has sworn to you, if you KEEP the Commandments of the Lord your GOD and walk in His way."
If you want receive the Holy Spirit from GOD, OBEY His Commandments.
Acts 5.32
32."And we are witnesses to these things, and so is the Holy Spirit Whom GOD has given to those who OBEY Him.”(See: "Obedience")
In the Old Testament the holiness can be also achieved through a special ritual of Nazarite, but this is very exceptional ritual and does not relate to the Christians in any way, but I presented it here as an example of another holiness that can be achieve through a specific ritual, and it related only to Hebrews.
Numbers 6.5.8
Holiness of the Nazirite.
5."All the days of their nazirite vow no razor shall come upon the head, until the time is completed for which they separate themselves to the Lord, they shall be holy, they shall let the locks of the head grow long.
8.All their days as nazirites they are holy to the Lord."
Another very exceptional holiness can be achieved even for non-believer! Even unbeliever can be holy from one who are holy: 1Corinthians 7.14.33-34.
What is the highest level of holiness a human being can achieve? Basically unlimited, according to abilities of each and every individual.
HOLINESS ACHIEVING ITS PERFECTION IN FEAR OF GOD AND THROUGH GOD'S DICIPLINE.
2Corinthians 7.1
1."Since we have these promises beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body and of spirit, making holiness perfect in the fear of GOD."
Hebrews 12.10
10.They (earthly parents) disciplined us for a short time as seemed best to them, but He disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share His Holiness.
According to the Bible Scriptures, not only people can be holy, certain things can be holy too, such as: the Ark of the Covenant, utensils of the Tabernacle and the Temple, the ground once upon Moses stood, or a certain place like Mount Zion for example, the city of Jerusalem, and so on.
