Ep.100 - God's Special Agent: The Holy Spirit - How do I Live a Holier Life?
Manage episode 456037460 series 3433767
Is a holier life simply a matter of living your best life? Is it about trying to live as morally upright as possible? Or worst still, is it about trying our hardest to impress God, to gain His approval.
What the bible has classically termed ‘sanctification’, has become something of a complexing issue to many Christians. Legalists and liberals alike have redefined it to either threaten or relieve the tension of personal holiness within albeit, a warped biblical framework.
In this weeks episode the Curious team take a look at what the bible has to say about our growth in personal holiness. Taking a biblical framework, the team expound the idea of two states, two covenants, two forces and two governing principles that identify the Christian’s struggle, and how the grounding truth of the new principle of life within us not only secures great assurance, but also inspires great dedication and commitment.
