19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
The body belongs to God as the Spirit’s temple and must glorify Him.
Holiness is God’s character shaping a redeemed people. It includes the heart, body, desires, relationships, worship, and visible conduct.
Apostolic holiness is Spirit-empowered consecration, not a way to earn salvation or a list detached from love, justice, mercy, and inward purity.
Rejecting legalism does not mean rejecting holiness. The New Testament repeatedly commands a transformed life because believers belong to God.
Begin with God’s call, move to inward transformation and the body as God’s temple, then address concrete practice.
