John Owen ministered to my heart with his answer (I add my emphasis and modernization):
Holiness is an internal change or renovation of our souls, our minds, our wills, and affections by the grace; a universal compliance with the will of God in all duties of obedience and abstinences from sin out of a principle of faith and love; a designation of all the actions of life unto the glory of God by Jesus Christ, through the gospel.
Wow. Pursue holiness (Hebrews 12:14).
