In our era, the road to holiness necessarily passes through the world of action.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We are 100 percent responsible for the pursuit of holiness, but at the same time we are 100 percent dependent upon the Holy Spirit to enable us in that pursuit. The pursuit of holiness is not a pull-yourself-up-by-your-own-bootstraps approach to the Christian life.
Holiness through Christ's Spirit is the accountability every Christian should be striving towards.
I'm a holy man minus the holiness.
I always believed in God, I would go to mass most of the time, but I had no idea of the calling to holiness.
This, and this alone, is Christianity, a universal holiness in every part of life, a heavenly wisdom in all our actions, not conforming to the spirit and temper of the world but turning all worldly enjoyments into means of piety and devotion to God.
Holiness of life is not the privilege of a chosen few - it is the obligation, the call, and the will of God for every Christian.
One of the central motivations for holiness in the New Testament is to be who you are, to understand your identity and your union in Christ and to live that way.
Holiness is the strength of the soul. It comes by faith and through obedience to God's laws and ordinances. God then purifies the heart by faith, and the heart becomes purged from that which is profane and unworthy.
Holiness, not happiness, is the chief end of man.
When Jesus comes to live in our hearts, the seed of holiness is planted.
