Be Holy
The Bible teaches Absolutes.

Defined
“As I am holy” as spoken by God.

-To know what Holy is we need to know God and what He is like.
-A person is Holy or not; there is no such thing as partial holiness or degrees of holiness. James 1:17 “...the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.” Every one every where must be Holy all the time. To be Holy is to live according to a high moral code or system. There is no superlative quality to Holiness as we describe comparisons, that is Highest, because there is only Holy; there is nothing less than that. It is to be right, just, good. The Holy person must be above reproach; there must not be even so much as a question or doubt as to the character of the person who is Holy. That person must display all the traits, thoughts, actions, characteristics, and attitudes of one who is totally morally irreprehensible.
-Holy is ‘set apart’. It is, to be distinct. While that implies being different ‘from’, it is to be set apart ‘to’. If there were only one person and that person was human and therefore there was no one else to be differentiated from, that person would still be required to be set apart to God. To be Holy is to be set apart to God.
-Holy includes God as the moral standard, and also all the other things that God is; Love, life, light, truth and so on.
-There is the idea that one who is holy is not necessarily innocent. Many say that A and E lived in the garden in innocence before the fall which is true, some say that A and E had to sin for God to bring salvation, in other words they had to experience sin and not be innocent anymore before God could provide confirmed holiness for people. It is true that God had to provide some other mechanism for A and E and people in general to become confirmed in holiness forever than just hoping that they would never decide to disobey Him. The length of time God waited before they fell would not have affected confirmation in Holiness other than to prove that it had not happened. There had to be a guarantee that they would never sin, but it is not true that they had to sin so that God could send Jesus to the world to save people. God has never sinned, He has never experienced being bad, yet He being innocent in that respect is Holy. In fact a person Must be innocent to be Holy. One sin no matter how innocuous and small and insignificant is cause for death, eternal incarceration. “the soul that sins it shall die”, therefore the person who sins once is dead not Holy. Nor can even God bring that person back and make that person holy (except by the one way that He did implement).
