We keep hearing be ye Holy for i am Holy, without Holiness no man shall see the LORD. But then how can we justify true holiness or how can one truely tell if He or she is Holy indeed or just being indoctrinated.?

What is the parameter for measuring HOLINESS?

The Holy Spirit and your Bible

There is no parameter for measuring holiness, its either you are holy or you are not. I have never seen any where in the bible where one was termed' holier than' another. In fact that term was reserved for hypocrites.

What is the need of measuring holiness when no one is holy?

We measure our holiness with GOD's standard in the Bible. It's been already laid out for us, His laws, commandment and statutes.

Holiness to us means a life without sin, a perfect life, a just life, a righteous life, a total consecration and obedience to the will of GOD, total belief and faith in JESUS CHRIST and GOD Almighty

charlsecy: What is the need of measuring holiness when no one is holy?

I beg to disagree, if no one is holy then Christ death should have been in vain, but the bible says in for this purpose the Son of man is made manifest that HE might destroy the works of satan, and as we know sin and every unholy acts is the work of satan . Hence, holiness is guaranteed...because "as HE is, so are we in this world. 1 john.

My question is i just want more light on how one can tell if his or her Holiness is growing or declining

"You can't be leaving in holiness and righteousness and be spiritually barren. Spiritual fruitfulness is an evidence of a believers close work with the Glorious God. A believer's work with the righteous God will always result in continuous growth in virtues and in the wisdom of God which shows in the fruit they bear. Professing and not working in holiness is a spiritual deception of those that only know God by name but not working with Him".- Gbile Akanni

God often times does not entertain excuses but the eagerness, willing and conscious heart of His children to leave a life of purity and holiness excites Him to come close and commune with His children. Gbile

Spiritual fruitfulness is not religious dressing and rituals. Col 1:10 so that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; Luke 6:43-44
"For there is no good tree which produces bad fruit, nor, on the other hand, a bad tree which produces good fruit. "For each tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they pick grapes from a briar bush.

John 15:1-8 Abiding and Abounding in God truthfully reflects in every areas of a believer's life, it is the only thing that makes him produce fruits that befits and shows the Glory of God we serve.-Gbile Akanni
