Holiness and Heaven
Holiness is a currency for heaven. If a person wants to reach here, he has to wear the garment of holiness. Otherwise, the entry is rejected. Or more precisely, the person who reaches the gates of heaven—being unqualified—is thrown out into the outer darkness, where there is weeping gnashing of teeth [Mt 22:13]. Imagine what… Continue reading

Saints and Past
The Saints were all not born with perfection and holiness. Some were gravely into sin. But others were very mild in it. They slowly grew in virtues and the great Saints they have become today.

Holiness of God
God helps everyone who calls out to Him. But, sometimes, our sins become a wall against our prayers reaching out to Him(Isaiah 59:2). Our God hates sin.

Holiness Per Se
Holiness is required for everyone who wants to be with God. He requires us to be holy because he, himself, is holy(1Peter 1:16). More so, Christ is the epitome of holiness(Revelation 5:4,5) and we all should strive to be like him(Ephesians 5:1,2). No defiled thing enters Heaven(Revelation 21:27). Also love needs to be proved to… Continue reading
