Living in the light of holiness is much more than ____ practices.

• A. Ritualistic
• B. Legalistic
• C. External
• D. Moralistic

Answer: (B)

Holiness is more than merely keeping a set of rules; it’s about a transformed life that flows from relationship with God. The phrase contrasts living in the light of holiness with approaches that reduce holiness to rule-keeping. The best answer points to this distinction: holiness isn’t simply about legalistic practices—adhere to strict laws or codes—but about a Spirit-led transformation that shows itself in genuine love, purity, and righteousness. While ritualistic, external, and moralistic labels describe outward behaviors, they miss the core point that holiness comes from a heart change and living in step with God, not just performing duties or meeting standards.
