Holiness is taking on the nature and character of Jesus Christ. This happens when you are filled with His Spirit and walk submitted to His will. The fruits of the Spirit will be evident in your life. You will think like Christ, act like Christ, and Dress like Christ.
Is the blue sash really necessary?

I believe in holiness but I am not in the arena trying to kill those that don´t. I am working with those that are under my care and ever working on the heart and spirit of Mrs. Janice. She takes so much of my time...

The spirit of holiness comes from having the Spirit of a Holy God living inside us.
As He resides on the inside, it will eventually reflect on the outside WHO is living
inside. There will be His glory shining through and the fruit of the Spirit will be made
manifest in and through that person. The spirit of holiness is not what we do, but
what we allow Him to do in and through our bodies, the temple of the Living God.
Our temple will reflect HIS GLORY! That is when He comes to be glorified in His saints!
2Thess.1:10.
God was glorified in His Son and He wanted to bring many sons/daughters to glory, so
He sent Jesus (The Word) to show and tell us how. When He came, he not only showed
us how but gave instructions on what to do after He went back to (being)the
Father.
The Father poured down His Spirit from on high, on all who would believe, obey and receive
it. He continues to do so today.
Don't expect to be holy until you are Wholly HIS! Body, soul and spirit! Let's present
our bodies a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto Him, which is our reasonable
service. And be not conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing our
our minds, that we may PROVE what is that good, and acceptable and perfect, will of
GOD.
Incidentally there is something missing. "Follow peace with all men and
holiness without....".

Well put!
"The spirit of holiness is not what we do, but what we allow Him to do in and through our bodies, the temple of the Living God"
In this a reference to the works of the flesh yes but faith is always a response to God's Word and Spirit. Thus obediance is always holiness and without holiness( which is the result and nature of obediance) no man can see the Lord.
Also holiness is not just fruits ofthe Spirit. To do as God has commanded reflects his will. Eating of blood for example is not a fruit of the Spirit but it is clearly something God does not want you to do. Be ye Holy as I am Holy this is a response to God's Laws and it is something we do. It's not just something that is imputed to us but a response to him. Many OSAS teach nothing you do is righteousness or holy before God and that is a lie. Your faith(which is a proper repsonse to God's Word) is always considered holiness as it reflects him.
And the fruit of the Spirit will only be made manifest if that tree truly
has the sap (Spirit) flowing through it!
(Psalms 104:16), "The trees of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted".
(Isaiah 61:3),
"To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil
of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be
called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified".
What is Jesus building His Church with! "Trees of righeousness, the planting
of the LORD, that HE might be glorified".
Glory to His Name, Glory to His Name,
There at the Cross was the Blood applied,
Glory to His Name.
