Holy in Christ

Over the last few days, I began reading a new book entitled “Holy in Christ” by Andrew Murray.  Thus far, it has been a great blessing.  This seems to be a truth that is lost in the popularization seen within mainstream Christianity.  Here are a few quotes from the book:

“Learn to cease from your own wisdom as well as your own goodness; draw near in poverty of spirit to let the Holy One show you how utterly above human knowledge or human power is the holiness He demands; to the soul that ceases from self, and has no confidence in the flesh, He will show and give the holiness He calls us to.

Holiness is not something we bring to God or do for Him. Holiness is what there is of God in us. God has made us His own in redemption, that He might make Himself our own in sanctification. And our work in becoming holy is the bringing our whole life, and every part of it, into subjection to the rule of this holy God, putting every member and every power upon His altar.”
