What is the difference between holiness and righteousness? nature-of-god christian-living nature-of-man Both holiness and righteousness are used to describe God. Additionally, we as Christians are called to be holy and righteous as well. These are two distinct words, so they must have distinct meanings. So, my question is what distinguishes holiness from righteousness? You shall be holy to me, for I the Lord am holyand have separated you from the peoples, that you should be mine. Leviticus 20:26 ESV 14 As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, 15 but ashe who called you is holy,you also be holyin all your conduct, 16 since it is written, “You shall be holy, forI am holy.” 1 Peter 1:14-16 ESV You are witnesses, and God also, howholy and righteousand blameless was our conduct toward you believers. 1 Thessalonians 2:10 ESV But that is not the way you learned Christ!— 21 assuming that you have heard about him and were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus, 22 to put off your old self,[f] which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, 23 and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, 24 and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in truerighteousness and holiness.Ephesians 4:20-24 ESV
