"Be holy" in the Bible: 1 Peter 1:15-16

What God Gives Bonuses For - #5811
We can't earn our relationship with God. Heaven is based on us trusting completely in the work that Jesus did on the cross. But God's rewards in heaven, but also here on earth, are based on how we live. And He's got His eye on you. He has some wonderful life-bonuses He wants to give you. But He's a holy God. He can only reward holiness.

Devotional : Spring Cleaning
Keeping our lives free from sin is a bit like keeping our house clean and in good repair. There are chores we must do daily to stay on top of it, but sometimes that is not enough. Sometimes we need to compile a list of all the little things that need to be fixed or cleaned and then perform some much-needed spring cleaning.

Why Would Anyone Want To Be Holy?
Why waste time thinking about something that sounds impossible? For that matter, why would we even want to run the risk of being thought of as someone who is out of step with society? Here's why a healthy holiness is not only possible but that nothing is more practical.
