Why is a holy life so rare to find?
According to the author, Jerry Bridges, the main reason is because we fail to understand our responsibility in this area. We sin because we choose to, not because we have no strength to fight temptation. This isn't a matter of 'defeat', of sin being stronger than us, it is simply rebellion on our part!Perhaps you have decided to live in hoiness, and you have tried for quite a while now. Or perhaps you have never particularly thought about it.
In any case, this book will challenge you to respond to God's call to run for the prize.
