God's word for today: But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do, 1 Peter 1:15

Holiness begins with a choice, we have to choose between living according to the flesh and according to the spirit, when we live according to the flesh sin is a habit and there is no repentance, on the other hand when we live according to the spirit sin is the exception and when it occurs there is an amendment purpose. The kingdom of God is a radical choice, there are no middle terms: friend or enemies: "You adulterous people, don't you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.", James 4:4
The flesh and the spirit are opposite choices: "For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh; but those who live according to the spirit, set their minds on the things of the spirit. The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the spirit is life and peace. The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so." Romans 8: 5-7
Holiness begins with a call, justification and conversion like Jesus with Matthew and the Rich Young Man. The goal of spiritual life according to the word of God, is the conformity to God, holiness, that is why the Apostle Peter teaches us: "But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do", 1 Peter 1:15

Freed from sin by justification and led by a life of mercy, God reveals himself by infusing the love of charity, the supernatural love, and it is here that holiness is completed, in the knowledge of the truth: "And hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us", Romans 5:5. God helps those who approach him through works of mercy: "It is God's will that you should be sanctified", 1 Thessalonians 4:3.
