For You alone are holy; For ALL THE NATIONS WILL COME AND WORSHIP BEFORE YOU, FOR YOUR RIGHTEOUS ACTS HAVE BEEN REVEALED." [Revelation 15:4 (NAS95)] We are made holy by the Holy Spirit, which is God’s Presence within us who believe. God alone is good; just as Christ said, “Why do you call me good? God alone is Good.” [Mark 10:18] Likewise, we are not holy, but God alone; we must share in His holiness by His Spirit; and the Holy Spirit is given to us who believe, for we who believe have not received the Spirit by the works of the Law, but by hearing with faith.
