The Practical Pursuit of Holiness HOLY CONDUCT Holiness is more than a state of being, it is a way of living. Christians should pursue being WHOLLY HOLY in their daily walk. The Practical Pursuit of Holiness

Wholly Holy We are made holy by the sacrifice of Christ (Hebrews 10:10; 13:12) Yet we must still “pursue” holiness (Hebrews 12:14) We are to be what Christ has enabled us to become (1 Cor. 1:2; 2 Cor. 7:1; Col. 1:21-23)

Pursuing & Practicing Holiness Fleeing & Pursuing (1 Timothy 6:10-11 2 Timothy 2:2) Conduct is Crucial (2 Peter 3:10-11 1 Peter 1:13-16 Romans 12:1-2)

Holey Holy? Are we pursuing holiness, or are there holes in our holiness? (1 Thessalonians 4:3-7 Ephesians 4:22-32)

More holiness give me, More striving within; More patience in suff'ring, More sorrow for sin; More faith in my Savior, More sense of His care. More joy in His service, More purpose in prayer. More purity give me, More strength to o’ercome; More freedom from earth-stains, More longings for home; More fit for the kingdom, More useful I’d be; More blessèd and holy, More, Savior, like Thee.
