Here’s another provocative quotation for discussion. This is from Steve Timmis, via Twitter:
Holiness is contextual, taking a particular shape & shade depending on situation. It’s absolute, but not a one-size-fits-all.
Do you think this is right? In what way? What kinds of examples can you think of?
(Painting info: Holiness, by Linda Nardelli.)
yes I would say it is correct. Holiness is an inward reality that is manifested in works, not a set of rules, not a list of dos and don'ts but a state of being. God is Holy and because he is Holy he acts in such a way. So it is with men. When God makes us holy it changes our behavior.
