Holiness and Indwelling

 Have them build a sanctuary for Me, so that I may dwell among them.

Exodus 25:8 AMP

https://bible.com/bible/1588/exo.25.8.AMP

I will sanctify the Tent of Meeting and the altar [of burnt offering]; also I will sanctify Aaron and his sons to serve as priests to Me. I will dwell among the sons of Israel and be their God.

Exodus 29:44‭-‬45 AMP

The presence of God makes holy, as at the burning bush.

How much more so wherever He makes His permanent abode?

It is as the indwelling God, that He sanctifies the house and makes it holy. 

He reveals Himself as the Holy One in Israel.

Holiness is not so much an attribute but a part of His essential being. He cannot be anything other than holy.

He instructs the Israelites to make a dwelling for Him and the dwelling place ( the holy of holies ) foreshadows His indwelling of His people.

From the holy place comes the two-fold voice, the call to make holy, and the promise to make holy

Obedience is key to the master's indwelling and only He can make the house holy, However, do not seek holiness as an attribute or gift. Holiness is neither of these. It must be sought in God alone, His person.

It is Him, dwelling in our hearts by faith (the gift of God) that makes us Holy. 

Let Him have complete ownership of you, spirit, soul, and body.

Hear the call of God to be holy as He is holy, and stand by faith on His promise to make holy. 

He made the inner court holy, and so too, He makes our hearts holy. 

He made the outer court holy too, and so, He makes our body holy.

Open your inmost being to Him. 

Allow Him to possess and dwell with you completely for you are not your own.

Amen
