Holiness is Perfection

You were created to seek holiness not spirituality. The meaning of your life is to seek your true identity, your true-self. Life is a stewardship, a test, a vocation and a journey. Stewardship is trust. God trusts you with the gift of your life and desires that you assist him in perfecting it. This is holiness. Life is a struggle that tests us.  Our character and our holiness are perfected through trials and struggles. Our vocation in life is our holy mission. Our journey in life is our way to holiness. Holiness is the path to your true-self.  Holy means “set-apart”. It means to stand out from the ordinary, from what are the world’s accepted standards. To stand out from the ordinary is to be extraordinary.  There are only two roads to travel in this world. There are two roads in life one that leads to God the other nowhere (an abyss). These two roads lead either to goodness or evil, life or death, truth or lies. We have only two choices; either to be holy or unholy. The one determining factor that can change society and the world is holiness. Society needs holiness more then anything else. Society is unity and community. Society is unified in ideas and values about how life should be lived. Society is a community that shares these values about living with each other. The highest level and value of living is holiness. The most profoundly transforming person in the world is a holy person. Christ was the holiest person that ever lived. He was perfection and he changed not alone the world and creation but man’s nature itself. To be holy is to be pure, without blemish. Holiness is perfection. God created all things including man to be perfect. Perfection in man is holiness. We see the perfection of man in the person of Christ.  All of creation is holy. Matter is holy. We when we do God’s will; we are holy. We when we sin; we are unholy. Man’s value, esteem and dignity rest on the fact that he is a holy being. God delights in holy people and desires your holiness above whatever else you do on earth. Every human being that has existed, is existing and will exist, is called to be holy, to be perfect. Each person’s holiness is unique; unique to that individual’s character, soul, and endowments. As each person’s personality is unique so is their soul and their perfection. Holiness is attained by the grace of the Holy Spirit. It is attained by having the life of God in our souls.
