Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding. (Proverbs 23)

Achieving Holiness

Holiness of life, then, is achieved neither by our own unaided effort – the error of ‘moralism’ or ’legalism’ – nor by the Spirit apart from our participation – as some who insist that the key to holy living is ‘surrender’ or ’let go and let God’ would have it – but by our constant living out of the ’life’ placed within us by the Spirit who has taken up residence within.
