# Be Holy Study
## Background
2017.07.08
- Started Holy Bible Study
2009.07.01
- Created a list of verses commanding "be holy"
## Questions
- What does it mean that God is holy?
- What does it mean that we are to be holy because God is holy?
- What is the connection between being holy and being perfect?
- How is all this connected with “sanctification”?
- Is there any connection between "righteousness" and “holiness”? See the [Righteousness Bible Study](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1y2yhR8CdNBkFZhk7LKlUxL3GqNTVf7G_gIFCH4Fa9cw/edit# "https://docs.google.com/document/d/1y2yhR8CdNBkFZhk7LKlUxL3GqNTVf7G_gIFCH4Fa9cw/edit#").
## ToDo
- ToDo Study
- Reference [[Grace_to_Be_Holy]]
## TL;DR
- There are connections between holiness and obedience
- Obedience leads to righteousness which leads to holiness {Romans 6.15-23}
- Peter was sanctified by the Spirit for obedience to Jesus {1 Peter 1.1-2}
- We need to be obedient children and be holy in all we do. {1 Peter 1.13-16}
- There is a strong connection between “holy” and “sabbath”. Compare with [Resting (Sabbath) in Jesus - Bible Study](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1roaMu9Z1jB47cySnmI5QKd-h3QIDOd0BhkU-peqNrxM/edit#heading=h.8n3rcmctafh3 "https://docs.google.com/document/d/1roaMu9Z1jB47cySnmI5QKd-h3QIDOd0BhkU-peqNrxM/edit#heading=h.8n3rcmctafh3") {Genesis 2.3, Exodus 16.23, Exodus 20.8-11, Exodus 31.15, Exodus 35.2, Leviticus 23.3, Deuteronomy 5.12}
