Holiness and righteousness transcend antiquity to confront iniquity in modern time. Holiness dwells beneath the armor of righteousness, salvation, faith, truth, the reparation of the gospel; it is the only body fit to wield the Spirit-sword.

Extreme righteousness is necessary in order to teach the world-at-large the difference between a true follower of Jesus Christ and those of professional Christianity.

The command is still, Be ye holy, as I am holy, the response is still, Yes, Lord!The righteous live with greater concerns, deeper levels of commitment and sensitivity to the will and purpose of God, than people of religion. Their prayers are pro-active, their work redemptive, their yearnings creative (calling those things into being with are not), their prospective broader (often worldwide), their vision clearer (light is sown for them), their path productive (the Lord directs) and their progress assured.

Just as faith moved those with lesser anointing into the hall of fame in Hebrews 11, there needs to be those of the Twenty-first Century qualifying themselves for the later day hall of fame.
