1349B: The Grace of Holiness (Part 1)
Holiness is not a badge we wear, it is a privilege we bear. It is not a source of personal pride, but an invisible magnet drawing us to humble repentance and deep recognition of personal sin; not in others, in ourselves. It is sovereign, and it is undeserved. Never forget it. But it is free and it is eternal. God will never allow holiness to become something we do to gain recognition. It will always be an unconscious outpouring of who He is, and the recognition will go to the One who sent His Holy Spirit to be Holy in us.
