This document outlines the concept of holiness as it relates to God, Jesus, Adam and Eve pre-fall, non-believers, believers on earth, and believers in heaven. It describes holiness as an event, process, quality, and state or condition. Key points include: God is perfectly holy; Adam and Eve were holy but able to sin pre-fall; non-believers are unable to stop sinning; believers on earth have the Holy Spirit but still struggle with sin; and believers in heaven will be perfectly holy like God.

19. Eph 2:4-6 - But God is so rich in
mercy, and he loved us so much,
5
that even though we were dead
because of our sins, he gave us
life when he raised Christ from
the dead.
20. (It is only by God’s grace that
you have been saved!) 6For he
raised us from the dead along
with Christ and seated us with
him in the heavenly realms
because we are united with
Christ Jesus. NLT

23. Romans 8:9-11 – But you are not
controlled by your sinful nature.
You are controlled by the Spirit if
you have the Spirit of God living
in you.
24. (And remember that those who
do not have the Spirit of Christ
living in them do not belong to
him at all.) 10And Christ lives
within you, so even though
your body will die because of
sin, the Spirit gives you life
because you have been made
right with God.
25. The Spirit of God, who raised
Jesus from the dead, lives in
you. And just as God raised
Christ Jesus from the dead, he
will give life to your mortal
bodies by this same Spirit living
within you. NLT

26. 1 Corinthians 15:50-53 – What I
am saying, dear brothers and
sisters, is that our physical bodies
cannot inherit the Kingdom of God.
These dying bodies cannot inherit
what will last forever.
27. But let me reveal to you a
wonderful secret. We will not
all die, but we will all be
transformed! 52It will happen in
a moment, in the blink of an
eye, when the last trumpet is
blown. For when the trumpet
sounds, those who have died
51
28. will be raised to live forever.
And we who are living will also
be transformed. 53For our dying
bodies must be transformed
into bodies that will never die;
our mortal bodies must be
transformed into immortal
bodies. NLT

31. 1 John 3:1-2 – See how very much
our Father loves us, for he calls us
his children, and that is what we
are! But the people who belong to
this world don’t recognize that we
are God’s children because they
don’t know him.
32. Dear friends, we are already
God’s children, but he has not
yet shown us what we will be
like when Christ appears. But
we do know that we will be like
him, for we will see him as he
really is. NLT
