When we think about holiness, our thoughts might tend toward moral behavior and right conduct, but Gary Wilkerson shows us from scripture that holiness is so much more. We don’t become holy by garnering our own will power and trying to follow a list of dos and don’ts. True holiness comes when we know God, realize he already calls us holy through faith in Jesus Christ, and receive his power to walk in holiness.
