Let’s think about holiness as if it were a treasure map. God draws a boundary line, a separation, around all his character, the depths of his riches. The line separates all of who he is from everything that he is not. The border of this land is accessible to everyone. It attracts many visitors. However, to cross over the border you must be washed clean by the blood of Jesus Christ, our Redeemer. Although his blood, his very life, is given to us without price, it does requires us to give up our old self and become new creations in him. There is no other way.
