A Brief Guide to Biblical Holiness

A Brief Guide to Biblical Holiness

Growing up in a holiness denomination, I often heard powerful sermons on "entire sanctification" at camp meetings and revivals. It was a doctrine that promised a life above sin. In the 1700s, John Wesley preached that we could have "perfect love" and taught a doctrine of "Christian perfection." However, many Christians today struggle to reconcile Wesley’s vision of Christian perfection with their own experience of failure. Is it possible to live a holy life? Many Christians identify more with the person in Romans 7 who can't seem to do the right thing even though he or she wants to. In this concise study, we go through the relevant passages in Scripture. We find clarity in interpretation amid common misinterpretations. We lay a solid foundation in Scripture, theology, and practical life for becoming a fully devoted follower of Jesus Christ. If you’ve ever felt trapped in a cycle of failure, this book offers fresh hope. Discover how the Holy Spirit can empower us to truly love God and others—with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength.
