A central theme of the Bible is that God desires holiness for His people.
No honest student of the Word can doubt this for a moment, and no honest child of God should want to doubt it for a moment. Holiness is beautiful!
Holiness is our goal, our destiny, our portion. It expresses the very essence of the nature and character of God and describes the highest level of spirituality attainable by man.
Holiness is just plain wonderful. Certainly no genuine believer would ever argue with that, right?
Wrong! There are plenty of believers who recoil at “holiness teaching,” finding it unscriptural and contrary to the gospel.
How can this be?...
