Active obedience, consecrated, holy (heart, soul, body) Leviticus 20:8

Obey my laws, observe them, and live by them. I am the LORD who sets you apart as holy. Keep my decrees, statutes and follow them, by putting them into practice, do them, practice them, perform them. I am the LORD, who makes you holy, sanctifies you. I have chosen you as my people, and I expect you to obey my laws. Obey my laws, because I am the LORD and I make you holy. Lev 20:8

• Leviticus 11:44-45 For I am the LORD your God; consecrate yourselves, therefore, and be holy, because I am holy. You must not defile yourselves by any creature that crawls along the ground. / For I am the LORD, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt so that I would be your God; therefore be holy, because I am holy.
• Leviticus 19:2 “Speak to the whole congregation of Israel and tell them: Be holy because I, the LORD your God, am holy.
• Leviticus 22:31-33 You are to keep My commandments and practice them. I am the LORD. / You must not profane My holy name. I must be acknowledged as holy among the Israelites. I am the LORD who sanctifies you, / who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God. I am the LORD.”

for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Romans 10:13

Offer ourselves as a living sacrifice (Romans 12:1-5), our heart is refreshed and our mind is renewed. This prepares our soul to test and approve God's perfect and pleasing will in our lives. Keeping a humble mindset as we are as fragile as jars of clay. Let the word of Christ dwell within, shape me an mold me, and place me where you will. 

• Romans 6:19: I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. Just as you used to offer the parts of your body in slavery to impurity and to escalating wickedness, so now offer them in slavery to righteousness leading to holiness.
• Romans 12:1: Therefore I urge you, brothers, on account of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.
• Hebrews 12:14 Pursue peace with everyone, as well as holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.

We are grafted into Israel. Romans 11:17-24, uses the metaphor of grafting trees to illustrate God's relationship with Israel and the Gentile church. It portrays Gentiles being "grafted" into the "olive tree" of Israel, representing God's covenant people, while some natural branches (representing disobedient Israelites) were broken off. This signifies the Gentiles' inclusion in God's blessings through faith in Christ, mirroring the practice of grafting where a branch from one tree is joined to another. 

• Exodus 31:13: “Tell the Israelites, ‘Surely you must keep My Sabbaths, for this will be a sign between Me and you for the generations to come, so that you may know that I am the LORD who sanctifies you.
• Deuteronomy 7:6 For you are a people holy to the LORD your God. The LORD your God has chosen you to be a people for His prized possession out of all peoples on the face of the earth.
• Deuteronomy 28:9 The LORD will establish you as His holy people, just as He has sworn to you, if you keep the commandments of the LORD your God and walk in His ways.

It wasn’t so long ago that we ourselves were stupid and stubborn, easy marks for sin, ordered every which way by our glands, going around with a chip on our shoulder, hated and hating back. But when God, our kind and loving Savior God, stepped in, he saved us from all that. It was all his doing; we had nothing to do with it. He gave us a good bath, and we came out of it new people, washed inside and out by the Holy Spirit. Our Savior Jesus poured out new life so generously. God’s gift has restored our relationship with him and given us back our lives. And there’s more life to come—an eternity of life! You can count on this.

I want you to put your foot down. Take a firm stand on these matters so that those who have put their trust in God will concentrate on the essentials that are good for everyone. Stay away from mindless, pointless quarreling over genealogies and fine print in the law code. That gets you nowhere. Warn a quarrelsome person once or twice, but then be done with him. It’s obvious that such a person is out of line, rebellious against God. By persisting in divisiveness he cuts himself off. Titus 3:3-11 MSG

• 1 Peter 1:15-16 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 Thessalonians 4:7 For God has not called us to impurity, but to holiness.
• 1 Corinthians 1:2 To the church of God in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be holy, together with all those everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours:

• 2 Corinthians 7:1 Therefore, beloved, since we have these promises, let us cleanse ourselves from everything that defiles body and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
• Ephesians 1:4: For He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless in His presence. In love
