1350B: The Grace of Holiness (Part 3)
We have to die before we can be resurrected. We have to die to self before grace can make strength out of weakness and take control of our lives. We don't like the idea of dying, and we don't like the idea of not being in control. So we study faith, grace, and sovereignty with the same intellectual intensity we would use to study geography, psychology, or mathematics. How foolish! This is not an academic pursuit. It is the pursuit of holiness. It will not be achieved through knowledge, but through the appropriation of grace.
