Can you be Holy? United Faith Church Barnegat New Jersey answers this question and asks a few more. Did you know it is a command in the Bible to "Be Holy as God is Holy"? Read about how such a command is accomplished in this day and age.

2. Is it possible to live a HOLY life in this day and age?
United Faith Church believes and teaches that
sanctification is a work made possible by God the
Father, through Jesus Christ, and completed by the
Holy Spirit.
The church trusts that God, Himself, sanctifies those
who put their trust in Him and walk in obedience to
His commands. The blessing of walking in obedience
to God is called sanctification. The process of
sanctification is an act of God the Father in which He
imparts His holiness into the lives of believers.

3. United Faith Church believes that the work of Christ
does not cease at salvation, but rather it just begins,
and His work continues throughout the life of the
believer. Therefore, we teach that sanctification is an
ongoing process for the believer that continues until
he or she goes on to meet the Lord.
United Faith Church also teaches the importance of
submitting to the commands of God during the
process of sanctification and actively practicing
obedience to Him. God is the One who sanctifies and
leads His people by the power of the Holy Spirit into
an ever-increasing measure of holiness.

4. Jesus lived a sanctified life, made evident by His
obedience to God the Father. His obedience was
rewarded with the holy presence of God wherever He
went. Just as Jesus sought to please the Father through
His obedience, so should believers strive to please the
Father above all else.
This obedience, coupled with God’s sanctifying power,
produces an inner change transforming believers into
the likeness of His Son. God honors those who honor
Him, and in turn, He imparts His holiness to them. We
affirm that through sanctification, the believer is set
apart to do the works of God.

5. United Faith Church recognizes the great privilege of being
set apart for the Lord. God has chosen His Church to be set
apart from the world by upholding His Word and
worshiping Him in spirit and truth. He sets apart His
Church to shine the light of the Gospel and carry it to the
nations. He compels believers to love the lost, heal the sick,
demonstrate His glory, and to do the work of the Kingdom!
The Apostle Peter passionately admonished the Church
with the Word of God that commands believers to “Be
holy, as I am holy” (1 Peter 1:16). This command is the call
for United Faith Church believers and believers across the
nation to be sanctified and set apart for the very use of
God.

6. United Faith Church believes that the power of the Holy
Spirit will cause a believer to purpose him/herself to turn
away from sin. He enables His people to change and to
better themselves for the glory of God. He empowers
believers to no longer be controlled by the flesh, but led by
the Spirit of God producing love, joy, peace, patience,
kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-
control.
We teach that God enables the believer to live a holy life by
His sanctification. Jesus prayed in John 17 for God
to "Sanctify them by Your truth." The Word of God is
truth and as believers follow the truth they are sanctified
by God's mighty power.

7. United Faith Church acknowledges the call to walk in
obedience to God the Father by the strength He gives
through His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. Many at UFC are
being made holy as they obey the Lord and walk each step by
faith in alignment with His Word. We are a people who are
on a journey of sanctification, being set apart to impact those
around them for the glory of God.
The Lord looks to dwell amongst a people that are preparing
themselves for His return. He delights in those who have
been set apart for holiness and who walk out their faith in
obedience, demonstrating His power in the blood of Jesus to
bring victory over sin, and leading many to the sanctifying
power of the Lord Jesus Christ.
