Q11. Becoming holy like God is a tall order!

Picture: Q11. Becoming holy like God is a tall order! JTLD 271.1

How is it achieved? We can’t just trust innate human goodness to guide our ethical choices, because our sinful human consciences are untrustworthy. We may consider ourselves good, moral, and ethical persons, but without Christ, we are inherently selfish. JTLD 271.2

But the same God who calls us to holiness is the One who made us. He promises to remake us in His image, through the new birth experience. He who began the work in us will finish it (Philippians 1:6). Regardless of our background, Education, and culture, Jesus can give us a new heart that will respect everyone’s identity and value, regardless of age, race, gender, or status. JTLD 271.3
