Becoming Kadashed

Sunday, December 18, 2022

The Hebrew word for holy is kodesh. But there's also another word, kadash, which sounds like the word for holy. But while kadosh is a noun, kadash is a verb. This is good news. Kadash is holy used as a verb. For many Christians, holy is only a noun, a concept, an idea. Kadash is different. It's an active dynamic thing. We might translate it as sanctify, but it's even deeper than that. Kadash implies you can become holy. Kadash means that no matter how you've been living, what you have done or how unholy you think you are, you can become holy -kadashed. In order for Aaron to become a priest and minister before God, the Bible says he had to be anointed. That means God kadashed him. And God can kadash you! The truth is that none of us are worthy to minister before God unless God makes us worthy! So stop living as if who you are or what you have been is all that matters. It doesn't matter, because holy is not just a noun, it is an active thing that God makes happen. So let God kadash you... and become holy.
