Santidade
A santidade é o chamado supremo de Deus para o seu povo. 'Sede santos, porque eu sou santo' — essa ordem ressoa por toda a Escritura, convidando-nos a uma vida separada para Deus.
O chamado à santidade
Deus nos escolheu antes da fundação do mundo para sermos santos. A santificação é sua vontade expressa e nosso destino em Cristo.

for it is written, Ye shall be holy, for I am holy.

None is holy as the Lord is; for none other is, except thee, and none is strong as our God.
For the Lord high, and enhanced, saith these things, that dwelleth in everlastingness, and his holy name in high place, and that dwelleth in holy-ness, and with a contrite, either full sorry, and meek spirit, that he quicken the spirit of meek men, and quicken the heart of contrite men.
And I shall be magnified, and shall be hallowed, and I shall be known before the eyes of many folks; and they shall know, that I am the Lord.
And I shall hallow my great name, which is defouled among heathen men, which ye defouled in the midst of them; that heathen men know, that I am the Lord, saith the Lord of hosts, when I shall be hallowed in you before them.
A prática da santidade
A santidade se expressa em pensamentos puros, ações corretas e separação do pecado. É um processo contínuo de purificação e dedicação a Deus.

not beholding each by himself what things be his own, but those things that be of other men.
