God- or self-entranced?
When was the last time you spoke on the holiness of Christians? J.D. Hatfield shares these thoughts:
The New Testament is centered on Christ, and its exhortations on the holiness of believers. This is not a simple call to obedience, but to holiness. Holiness is not righteousness, righteousness flows from holiness. Holiness isn’t simply obedience; it is being set apart for God and depending on God by drawing your boundaries, as God would have them. Obedience flows from holiness, and holiness is cultivated by a right understanding of God and what He has done for us in Christ. To understand Christ more fully is to be made more holy in practice.Amen.

Indeed...
Awesome.
I like this post, because I can conveniently answer the question, "when was the last time you spoke on holiness of Christians?" with "Why, last night, actually, as I taught on the Passover and consecration to God." :-)
You probably know this already, Milton, but I love your blog and your great knack for highlighting links and quotes I wouldn't otherwise get to see.
Blessings!
Thank you, Jared, for your kind words and outstanding blog. And thank you, J.D. for continuing to post Christ-centered essays. Peace.
