Holiness

“Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.”
  — 1 Peter 1:16 (KJV)
Holiness is a transaction that allows men to be identified with the Most High God, it entails us walking in the counsels of God and perusing His desires, it's a pillar in the saints that makes them have a firm ground, it's a gown that sorrounds the saints. A son or daughter of Jesus Christ will walk in fear of God notwithstanding any form of wickedness and evil to pollute them, holiness creates an environment for the manifestation of the Holy spirit and this can be brought by setting ourselves from unholy lifestyle and sanctification of the spirit.
It's in the DNA that children should resemble their fathers, and anyone born of God and spirit will bring forth fruits and character that is of the spirit. 
That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.”
  — John 3:6 (KJV)

Its the renewal of the soul that brings men to a level that God can be identified with them, John came and spoke of it 
“I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:”
  — Matthew 3:11 (KJV)
“And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.”
  — Ephesians 4:24 (KJV)
It's evident that it is not by our own will but it's God who entrust us with a new life and we should walk in fear not to corrupt it, for filthiness of flesh and spirit taints our robe
“Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.”
  — 2 Corinthians 7:1 (KJV)
Be renewed, set aside all work of the old man and persue the righteous way of the faith
“For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.”
  — 1 Thessalonians 4:7 (KJV)
“To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.”
  — 1 Thessalonians 3:13 (KJV)

Lets live by consecration and sanctification trusting the spirit to bring us unto maturity unto the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
