Although "holy" is often regarded as a synonym for "sinless" (and thus an impossibility in this life), it can also mean something that is consecrated, or "set apart". In that respect, believers are to live in a manner that does not conform to the practices of sinful humanity, and that thus causes others to note that they are "different" in a positive sense, and want to be like them. The main manner in which this can be done is through love toward God and toward others in our hearts, words, and deeds, which Jesus called the greatest commandments in the Law (Matthew 22:34-40; Mark 12:28-34; Luke 10:25-37).
