"When we commit ourselves to the pursuit of holiness, we need to ensure that our commitment is actually to God, not simply to a holy lifestyle or a set of moral values." - Jerry Bridges | Sunday Social
We don't reach toward holiness for our ego's sake or because we want to be better. We do it because we are pursuing God and His best for us.
When we pursue holiness just for moral goodness, we create a system of shame that traps ourselves and others. But when we pursue holiness for the love of God, there's freedom.
