Me? Be Holy?

But just as He who called you is holy,

so be holy in all you do;

for it is written:

"Be holy, because I am holy." 

1 Peter 1:15-16

I don't know about you,

but I know that I cannot of myself be holy -

so how can God expect this of me?

It was very difficult for me to watch the movie

"The Passion of the Christ",

but I think it best depicts how I can be holy.

It's not my holiness;

it's the holiness of Christ Jesus imparted to me.

"Yet now He has reconciled you to Himself
through the death of Christ in His physical body.
 As a result, He has brought you into His own presence,
 and you are holy and blameless
 as you stand before him without a single fault." 
Colossians 1:22

Wow!

So, yes, ...God declares me holy!
It's not what I do...
It's what He has done for me!

Amazing!
