Holiness!

Holiness is the core of who God is. He lives in a self-imposed universe of righteousness. He can't sin, nor can He be approached by sin. The root of our transformation is holiness. When we become more like God and His Son Jesus Christ, we become more holy. Holiness is a righteousness bestowed upon sinful humanity through the blood of Jesus Christ to all who confess Jesus as Lord. Holiness is what separates sinners from saints. Holiness is first a position given to believers by God who has declared them holy. But holiness is also an action. It is action we take to intentionally walk in the light of truth according to the word of God. Fasting and praying should make us more holy and not less holy. If after an extended fast, someone is not more holy with their works and deeds, they didn't include fasting with prayer.
