LOOK:

God’s holiness is an essential part of His nature. “God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all” (1 John 1:5). Any holiness that we have in character and conduct must be derived from Him. Basically, to be sanctified means to be “set apart for God’s exclusive use and pleasure.” It involves separation from that which is unclean and complete devotion to God (2 Cor. 6:14–7:1). We are to be holy “in all manner of conversation [behavior],” so that everything we do reflects the holiness of God. If something cannot be done to the glory of God, then we can be sure it must be out of the will of God.
