A. We have been made holy by CHRIST's obedience to GOD's will

1. to render or acknowledge, or to be venerable or hallow

2. to separate from profane things and dedicate to God

3. to purify

Hebrews 2:11 (Amplified Bible)

John 17:19 (Amplified Bible)

1 Corinthians 1:30 (Amplified Bible)

1:30 But it is from Him that you have your life in Christ Jesus, Whom God made our Wisdom from God, [revealed to us a knowledge of the divine plan of salvation previously hidden, manifesting itself as] our Righteousness [thus making us upright and putting us in right standing with God], and our Consecration [making us pure and holy], and our Redemption [providing our ransom from eternal penalty for sin].

1 Corinthians 6:11 (Amplified Bible)

6:11 And such some of you were [once]. But you were washed clean (purified by a complete atonement for sin and made free from the guilt of sin), and you were consecrated (set apart, hallowed), and you were justified [pronounced righteous, by trusting] in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the [Holy] Spirit of our God.

We are not holy but been made holy, same as we are not good, no one's good, only GOD is good.

10:18 And Jesus said to him, Why do you call Me [essentially and perfectly morally] good? There is no one [essentially and perfectly morally] good—except God alone.
