Bible Note: You wrote: "In principle I agree but the specifics are to vague." Huh? You wrote: 'So when you speak of the pursuit of holiness it must mean the pursuit of Christ who produces in me the 'fruit' of His Spirit one of which is "Holiness", His.' What does Scripture say? "Pursue peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no one will see the Lord." --Hebrews 12:14 'As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance, but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior; because it is written, "YOU SHALL BE HOLY, FOR I AM HOLY."' --1 Peter 1:14-16 You wrote: "Today my need may be to be holy but tomorrow what will my need be? Patience? Long suffering? Joy?" The patience which God produces in us ia a holy patience. The joy produced is a holy joy. Holiness is characteristic of all of the fruits of our sanctification. --Joe! |
