Growing in Holiness: Understanding God’s Role and Yours
The pursuit of holiness is an irresistible call for all followers of Christ. God calls Israelites to live a holy life, “You shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy,” (Leviticus 19:2).
One thing to note about this call is that it is directed towards his chosen people. Those who belong to him are expected to live a life that reflects his holiness. It is no wonder Peter echoes these words as he admonishes New Testament believers.
The challenge for most of us believers is not lacking the desire to live a holy life but how to put it into practice.
In this book, R. C. Sproul poignantly addresses the mindset required in order to engage in the pursuit of this holiness. He shows both the significance of a desire for holy living and how to live it.
Without minimizing the challenge of living a holy life, he urges believers to run the course set before them with perseverance knowing that the Christian journey is like a marathon. His interaction with biblical virtues gives a fresh reminder of the necessity of pursuing these virtues for an enduring spiritual growth.
Sproul’s discussion on biblical love illustrates the significant role a Christ-like love plays in pursuing a holy living. You are reminded what Christ-like love looks like and how to practice it, not only in the church setting but also in the world.
This book will force you to rethink and reexamine your sanctification progress. But most of all, it will draw you closer to Christ who saved you and continues to work in you until the final day of His appearance.
