What did God mean when He said, “be holy, because I am holy” (Leviticus 11:44; 1 Peter 1:16)?

In my own opinion, i think is to live a life like saints.Our God hates sins and as His children, we should be “like father like son”.
The first word or phrase that comes to mind in “other than.” Just like God is so utterly “other than” we are, we are to be so utterly “other than” the world. Since then we have been raised with Christ, we are called to live lives that are set apart for God.
Today’s Scripture reference says it all – Colossians 3:12-15 Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. 13 Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. 14 Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony. 15 And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful.
We are to be different from the people that don’t know Jesus. Our sights are set on things that are out of this world.
Good thoughts by all! The clear message is that to “be holy” is to be like God. May we follow Him and reveal Him by the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives.
