Holiness is the quality or state of been holy. In other words, it is also called sanctity, divinity, godliness, saintliness, sacredness...


According to the Bible, in 1 Peter 1:16 we read, "You shall be holy, for I am holy." What is holiness? How can we be holy?


The word translated "holiness" in the New Testament means to be "set apart." In the Old Testament, holiness was generally connected with God's perfection. How can we be set apart and perfect?


All people have sinned (Romans 3:23 ) and are imperfect. Our only option to be set apart is through the salvation offered through Jesus Christ ( John 3:16 ; Romans 10:9 ; Ephesians 2:8-9 ).


Perfection on the other hand is the state or quality of been perfect.

Perfection from the Cambridge English dictionary says perfection is the state of been complete and correct in every way.


Ecclesiastes 7:20 ESV:
Surely there is not a righteous man on earth who does good and never sins.


Matthew 5:48 ESV:
You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.


Philippians 3:12-15 ESV:
Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Let those of us who are mature think this way, and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal that also to you.


James 1:4 ESV:
And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.


James 3:2 ESV:
For we all stumble in many ways. And if anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle his whole body.


Philippians 2:15 ESV:
That you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world.


1 John 5:18 ESV:
We know that everyone who has been born of God does not keep on sinning, but he who was born of God protects him, and the evil one does not touch him.


Hebrews 10:14 ESV:
For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified.


James 1:25 ESV:
But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing.


Matthew 19:21 ESV:
Jesus said to him, “If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”


Colossians 1:22 ESV:
He has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him,


2 Corinthians 7:1 ESV:
Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body and spirit, bringing holiness to completion in the fear of God.


Matthew 7:1-2 ESV:
“Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you.

The question is, "is holiness same as perfection?"

Kai! Kai!! Kai!!!

The end result is what matters in multiplication and not what you use in multiplying. As long as you multiply any entity with zero, does it amount to something else? No. That is why the result is zero, since nothing is gotten at the end...

I think you people confusing yourselves on the issue. What comes first, love or sponsorship? Love of course. He sponsor her because of the love he has for her, not that he wants to marry her because he is sponsored her education. If he wasn't in love with her in the first place, he wouldn't have sponsored her education to begin with. Or, did the man say that he's doing charity work from the beginning?

If you claim he is sponsoring her because he love her, then what have you done for him too to show you love him. Remember sex is not love[left][/left]

For those comparing agape love with aeros love, they are different. God's love shown to people is not selfish. I agree, but, for two to come together which is aeros kind of love is sacrifices we must pay in human nature.

As a lady, if you are not going to be with the guy, don't collect beyond what can stress the guy to aquire for you. Because, you will pay someday and somehow.

For the guys, please let your relationship be built on love and trust first of all before going beyond your limit to assist. I know a lot of ladies will say, you are stingy or... Please guys don't let them deceive you it is a way to smoke you dry rather than them helping you to grow

Hear the real meaning of the prayer and message.

The prayer is not for everyone but for those who might want to get married but, stranded by some circumstances. I pray God address all issues that causes delay in marriages for some in Jesus name. Amen

1) Life Purpose

2) Relationship with people who will help you achieve your life purpose

3)marry and build a family with a partner whose life purpose is similar to yours

No God in your quest?

1. God
2. Family
3. Career/jobs/profession
4. Relationships (marriage)

Family in No.2 means the family you grow up from. Not just your immediate family but also those around your society. Help them in anyway you can and also extends hands of love. You can not extend love to your relationship adequately without first extending love to your immediate family.

Your career is the catalyst that keeps and bind your relationship. Imagine cooking food without salt, how would you get the taste of that food fully. Although, like the saying "money is not everything", it is part of those things that keeps the relationship going. Think again about putting just salt in your meal, the taste will not be complete without other ingredients. That is why we must know that the list not in order of preference is what bring that spark to a healthy living.

Are you not supposed to surrender yourself to dss as well?

What is/are your opinion on the meaning of the death of Jesus christ on the cross of calvary?

I get all your points and I understand all other opinions... In summary of what I have gathered so far from people's opinion is this...

The average parents in Nigeria have high expectations of their children in terms of taking care of them when the kids have grown up and are working, which make parents to invest on their children when they are still agile to do so.

Imagine a man gave birth to 7 children and was meant to train them at least to a certain level. Thinking the more the number of his children, the more allowance to enter his account when the time comes. But unfortunately, none of those kids could meet up to his expectations. The economy could not allow any of his children to even be comfortable with their own.

Was it out of love or greed? Parents should learn to create a social relationship with their kids first, then show them love by not compelling them to settle for a kind of life that may not go with their ambitions. Like for instance making their children study a particular course which the child may not be comfortable with. Why? To think that that course would fetch money for the family. Am not saying it is wrong to admire good and successful course but, hope there will be no regrets when it does not go the way they expect it.

Having a lucrative career does not guarantee that a child will also look after his/her parents. That is why a parent must have a social relationship with their kids, that will not condorn any selfish interests from the parents side.

Now, an adult child is faced with two-sided responsibility. His own children if he has one and his parents'. I can not fully blame all negligence on the part of the child, because of so many challenges but, a child who is reasonably enough should know that it is turn by turn. His duty is to care for their parents. You can not do more than your parents have done but the little you can with love, do it.

Love is all, from the training of the child to the child acknowledging to reciprocate through that same love.
I also plead on some parents to take easy with their kids���. Sometimes, they wish they can do more but the situation keeps getting tough.

All young parents, learn from the previous mistakes, think about what you will do to at least help yourself in your old days, for you never can tell. Don't stop loving and training your kids and I believe with that love, they will not abandon you when you need them.

Pray for our country to be better so that we will not be wined out from this present day frustration.

Also my advice, give birth to children you can comfortably train and use the remaining money to secure a business for yourself. When you have so many children to the extent you can not even save enough for any business, you may end up with nothing at the end. Apply wisdom, without expectations you are already secured with your investment.

Dtruthspeaker:
You are indebted to make them happy you are indebted to do good to them.

This is the Law- "Owe no man nothing but Love"

Now you are talking. I had expected you to talk about love before now. So you see, children should not be indebted to do out of love. Likewise, it is parent's responsibility to cater for the ones they brought into this world.

Children should Honour their parents too for them to live long, for this is the commandment.

You see in life, everyone have a choice to make which comes with its own consequences whether positives or negatives. In the kingdom, there are principles to wealth just as there are blessings to Honour one's parents

Today, the point is we feel indebted to do because our parents have sacrificed but neglect the fact that caring for your parents grugeginly without loves does not attract blessings. My take though.

UjuJoan2:
It’s a parent’s responsibility to take care of the children. It’s not a Favour to them or a retirement plan. While taking care of your kids, also ensure to make your own retirement plan.

That being said, any child who neglects the parents is going against the commandments of God[b].

Am not against your point but, please can you back it with the scripture verse that said this "going against the commandment of God"

ihec:
See better take care of your parents who sacrificed alot for you to be a responsible adult.
Don't go and borrow western culture then come here looking for who will back you up.
If you feel you can never lack anything in the evenings of your life then think again because something might just happen and all ur gathered wealth will vanish then you start looking up to your children to buy bathing soap.

Better stop that reasoning because e no make sense at all.

Yes, I am trying with my parents. I might not be able to repay them all they have done for me, but am happy helping them out of love. I love them and I wish I can do more for them. Whether they took me far or not, am indebted to make them happy.

In conclusion then?

tobechi74:
Children should be made to do things out of duty in the beginning.As they grow up, duty should be gradually replaced by love. Love is a better teacher than obligation.  Duty is mechanical and externally motivated by a sence of obligation . Love makes it easier. Love transform responsibility to joy. A sence of  duty warmed by a love for humanity creates the best result.

I have seen a girl  reject suitor so they can take care their aging parents. While the act is commendable,It should be done out of love and not out of society expectation so she doesn’t regret it taking care of aged parent should be done from the bottom of her heart and not as a debt she owes you.  

The factory worker who constantly looks at the clock for it to be five o click to drop his tools work out of duty and not out of love .  Such a man will have lots of regret when he finally retires. Christianity is one religion built out of love rather than a sence of duty. God love the world that he gave his son……He did not owe the world. No one would punnish him for non compliance.To  be a great teacher, begin by loving children. To be a great auto-mechanic, begin by loving automobile. Parents show love to your children. Children show love to parents

Nicely written... Many reports about children not taking care of their aged parents could have been averted with the necessary knowledge.
