John Charles Ryle, Anglican Bishop of Liverpool in the 19th century spoke of holiness this way. He said, "It is not knowledge...nor great profession...nor doing many things...nor zeal for certain matters in religion..." He continues that holiness is not "morality and outward respectability of conduct, nor taking pleasure in hearing preachers preach sermons, nor keeping company with godly people. These things alone are not holiness. A man may have any one of them, and yet never see the Lord.”
 

Holiness is freedom from the taskmaster of sin. Hypocrisy is the direct enemy of holiness. Conformity to the world is the dying breaths of our witness. We must be the Church that is striving for Holiness that God commanded us to be because by saving us God shows His righteousness.
 

Without the Holiness of God sin has not meaning and Grace has no point.
