This year I will be sharing brief excerpts from the articles, sermons, and books I am currently reading. My posts will not follow a regular schedule but will be published as I find well-written thoughts that should be of interest to maturing Christian readers. Whenever possible, I encourage you to go to the source and read the complete work of the author.

J.I. Packer On Holiness And Conflict

Posted on Friday, November 11, 2011 by Samuel

J. I. Packer

From the desk of J.I. Packer:

Any idea of getting beyond conflict, outward or inward, in our pursuit of holiness in this world is an escapist dream that can only have disillusioning and demoralizing effects on us as waking experience daily disproves it. What we must realize, rather, is that any real holiness in us will be under hostile fire all the time, just as our Lord’s was. (God’s Words: Studies of Key Bible Themes, Intervarsity Press, 1981, p. 195)
