The Holiness Movement is a Christian movement that emerged chiefly within 19th-century Methodism.
Holy is a term used to describe something or someone of religious value or meaning, regarded as sacred and set apart from common secular use for respect and veneration, and even for the purpose of provoking, prompting, stimulating prayer and mystical inspiration.[1] The quality and character of being holy is called holiness.
Sanctity is a synonym for holiness. Whatever and whoever is made holy or is regarded as holy is sanctified, and is characterized as having sanctity/holiness.
Sanctification is a Christian theological concept that refers to the process of becoming holy or sacred, or being set apart for a special purpose for God. It is a gift from God that involves becoming more pure, blameless, and separated from sin.
Etymology: Synonyms and Antonyms
A consideration and study of the etymology of "holy" together with its synonyms and antonyms is useful in understanding its deeper meaning.
Strong's Concordance of the King James Bible
Strong's concordance has 611 entries in 544 verses under HOLY (King James Bible) [2]
Hebrew qodesh
The Hebrew word is ק×ש qodesh "sacred".[3] Ruach ha-Qodesh is Holy Spirit.
Greek hagios
The Greek word is Î¬Î³Î¹Î¿Ï hagios "holy"[4] Hagia Sophia is Holy Wisdom.
Latin sanctus
The Latin word sanctus for "holy" is in the Sanctus of the Catholic Mass, drawn from the Old Testament text of Isaiah 6:1-4, and the New Testament text of Revelation 4:8, the biblical basis for the Christian hymn "Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty".

The primary probable secular meaning, "that must be preserved whole or intact, that cannot be transgressed or violated," is connected with Old English hal (related to "health") and Old High German heil "health, happiness, good luck" (source of the German salutation "Heil!").[5]
Synonyms: Holy

"Sanctify the Lord God in your hearts"
Saint Peter commanded Christian believers to sanctify the Lord God:
In the literal meaning of the Greek text of this verse, the word άγιάÏαÏε hagiasate [9] does not mean having the power to consecrate and make God holy (which is absurd and impossible), but rather to personally fulfill the first petition of The Lord's Prayer:
- "hallowed be thy name".
To "sanctify" the Lord God is to adore God above all else with unreserved heartfelt reverence and worship due to God alone (Latin latria [10]). This is the fulfillment of the second of the Ten Commandments: [11]
- "Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain." [12]
As seen in the list of the Bible passages in the preceding section, it is possible for human beings also to "be holy yourselves in all your conduct" [13], to "sanctify yourselves" [14], by keeping the commandments of Jesus, by doing what is righteous, as he is righteous, and to regard with holy respect and reverential veneration (Latin dulia [15]), as sanctified to God, all that is holy, including the church, the body of Christ, as the temple of the Holy Spirit, and the saints of the Lord who are consecrated to God and are glorified by Him.[16]
Holiness Movement
See also: Holiness Movement
The Holiness Movement among American Methodists in the 1830s-1880s was part of the Third Great Awakening. The goal of the Holiness Movement was to move beyond the one-time conversion experience that the revivals produced, and reach entire sanctification. A related movement, Pentecostalism went one step further, seeking what they called a "baptism in the spirit" or "baptism of the the Holy Ghost" that enabled those with this special gift to heal the sick, perform miracles, prophesy, and speak in tongues.[17]
Holy of Holies
See also: Holy of Holies
The Holy of Holies was the term referring to the innermost room of the Tabernacle and later the Temple. It was in the Holy of Holies that Yahweh dwelt.
In the sack of Jerusalem by Pompey Magnus, Pompey entered and defiled the site as it was in the Second Temple, as described in Flavius Josephus' account of the battle.
"Holy Mary, Mother of God"
The Incarnation of God
On the basis of these texts and the doctrine of the Ecumenical councils that Jesus is God the Son and remains God Incarnate from the moment of his conception in the womb of Mary his true mother, the Person of Jesus is by that fact according to nature henceforth and always her own Son. He who exists before her and created her, by entering her womb and becoming incarnate (John 1:14), causes her to be ipso facto "by that fact" His own mother. This is a unique privilege bestowed on no other human being.
Christian doctrine: Orthodox, Catholic, Anglican, Protestant
On the basis of these texts and the doctrine of the Ecumenical councils, Orthodox, Catholics, Anglicans and Lutherans say without hesitation, "Holy Mary mother of God". The Protestant Reformers, Luther, Calvin and Zwingli did not hesitate to use such language in speaking of Mary the mother of Jesus.
Fundamentalism
Fundamentalists firmly proclaim that God alone is holy. No one else and nothing else is or can be holy but God alone. Regarding anything or anyone else as holy is idolatry. The Bible is holy because it is the Word of God.
