This statement from R.C. Sproul’s book entitled The Holiness of God, was written 25 years ago, but still aptly describes the condition of evangelicalism today. Sproul asserts that the majority reader “salutes the holiness of God and protests loudly that it believes in God’s sovereignty, [but] still entertains delusions about our ability to incline ourselves to God, to make ‘decisions’ to be born again.” Thumbing through the pages of this book will leave a person in the deep end of thought, treading over hard questions, and forcing the reader to tear the veil of inaccurate perspectives to see God for who He is: Holy.

As Sproul comments, “The task that is given to mankind in creation is to bear witness to the holiness of God, to be His image bearer. We are made to mirror and reflect the holiness of God. We are made to be His ambassadors.” If you have an interest in setting aside a superficial understanding of who you are, and who God is, consider picking up The Holiness of God, a book that has graced Christian bookshelves for the last 2 1/2 decades. No matter your stage in life, today you can more accurately reflect God’s holiness by his grace and become His ambassador to the world. (Ben Graham)
