Synopsis

God’s command is ‘Be holy, for I am holy.’ But as victims of sin’s ‘guerilla warfare’, Christians are often prone to give up the fight, or at least to compromise with sin.

Why do we so rarely experience holy living? Best-selling author Jerry Bridges addresses this and other questions in this insightful, practical and relevant book.

Whether you are a new or experienced Christian, the principles outlined in this classic work will provide a compelling challenge to obey God’s call.

Topics addressed include:
-What God has provided to help us live holy lives
-What is meant by the scriptural statement that ‘we have died to sin’.
-Practical guidelines to determine right from wrong
-The struggles we have with physical overindulgence and unloving attitudes
-How reason and emotions influence our will
-How habits and personal discipline play a part in holy living.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

HOLINESS. THE CHRISTIAN'S JOINT VENTURE WITH GOD. "Be holy, for I am holy," commands God to His people. But holiness is something that is often missed in the Christian's daily life. According to Jerry Bridges, that's because we're not exactly sure what our part in holiness is. In The Pursuit of Holiness, he helps us see clearly just what we should rely on God to do-and what we should accept responsibility for ourselves. Whether you're continuing your pursuit of holiness or just beginning, the principles and guidelines in The Pursuit of Holiness will challenge you to obey God's command of holiness.
