I've decided it is time I start reading another book. My choice this time is The Pursuit of Holiness by Jerry Bridges.
God is holy; and we have been called to be holy. For it is written 'Be holy for I am holy' (1Peter 1:16). These two things - that God is holy and that we have been called to be holy - we can easily overlook. We can go through life without really understanding what it means that God, the one who we worship and call upon in prayer, is Holy. And if we fail to understand the extent of His holiness, how then can we be holy?
In reading this book it is my wish to gain a deeper understanding of the holiness of God and what this means for me. It is fair enough to know that one must be holy, but how one is to go about leading a holy life is entirely different.
