Holiness

Last night I finished the book I've occasionally written about on here. Holiness by J.C. Ryle is a must read for Christians! I loved it. Since I've talked about it on here before, I'll just give a small summary.

The first few chapters deal with what holiness is and why we need to strive to be holy. He lays out the differences between sanctification and justification, which we are able to improve on (sanctification) and which one is already accomplished for us, our righteousness that we can't work on (justification). Then he talks about fighting for holiness, growing in it, and he gives a few biblical examples of Lot, Lot's wife, Moses, and then wraps the book up with the best chapter in the book: Christ is All. The last chapter really made the book come full-circle, it was great.

So if you haven't read it, grab a copy!
