hagiōsynē · G42 · GREEK
The Greek word hagiōsynē (the noun of quality from hagios — holy, set apart) means to be wholly consecrated to God — reserved, dedicated, and belonging to Him in a way that shapes everything else in life, morally conformed to the likeness of God — becoming in character what it means to live in the presence of the Holy One, and fully alive as God intended — human beings restored to the reflection of His own nature for which they were originally made. Hagiōsynē is not a spiritual achievement; it is the natural life of those who are near the Holy One.
