The Pursuit of Holiness is a rich book that provides the Christian with an accurate view of holiness and points out the fact that holiness is not an option. Jerry Bridges, the author of the book, focuses the Christians attention on the importance of a holy life. This holy life is not a life that acclimates to the people around, but pursues the holiness of God, which is exactly what the Apostle Peter communicates in his epistle chapter one verse 16;
"You shall be holy, for I AM holy"
This verse is actually a quote from Leviticus 11:44, and yes that means that the Old Testament is important because apart for the OT we would not fully comprehend the New Testatment.
So how does a Christian pursue holiness?
