“Holiness is nothing less than conformity to the character of God”
— Jerry Bridges
Simplified Meaning:
Being holy means trying to be like God in the way you think, feel, and act. It means showing qualities like love, kindness, honesty, and fairness, just like God does. Imagine you look up to someone who is very kind and honest and you try to follow in their footsteps. For example, think of a person you know who always helps others, tells the truth, and treats everyone with respect. If you try to act like this person, always doing good things like they do, you are trying to be holy. You can apply this idea in your life by always thinking about what the best and kindest thing to do is and then doing it, just like God would. So, in simple terms, being holy means to act in a good, loving, and fair manner all the time, trying to mirror the goodness you believe in.
