The Holiness Movement is a Christian movement that emerged in the 19th century, emphasizing the importance of living a life free from sin. It teaches that believers can achieve a state of spiritual purity, often referred to as "entire sanctification." This idea is rooted in the teachings of the Bible, particularly in the writings of John Wesley, who advocated for a deeper relationship with God.
The movement has influenced various denominations, including the Methodist Church and the Church of the Nazarene. Holiness believers often focus on personal piety, community service, and a commitment to spreading the message of holiness to others, aiming to reflect God's love in their daily lives.
