Growing in Holiness, Understanding God's Role and Yours

The Christian life is a process of growing in holiness. This kind of growth is gradual, and obstacles are plentiful. Thankfully, we don't have to go it alone. God has given us his Spirit so we can overcome temptation and become more and more conformed to the image of Christ. But how does the Spirit work? What's the nature of our own personal involvement in the process? And how do we know if we're making progress? Drawn from the lectures of beloved theologian R. C. Sproul, Growing in Holiness explores the doctrine of sanctification, offering insightful commentary on themes such as developing perseverance, overcoming barriers to growth, dealing with feelings of inadequacy, cultivating love for God and others, exhibiting the fruit of the Spirit, and much more. Whether you're a new believer who wants to understand what the Christian life is all about or you've been a Christian for some time but are frustrated by a lack of progress, this book is your guide to pursuing a holy life.

"Reading R. C. Sproul is always like standing in a room when the lights are switched on: everything suddenly becomes clear. This book is a beautiful example of that. With keen wisdom and a light freshness of style, it clears away confusion, opening up long vistas of insight into the sweet truths of the gospel and their implications for our lives. Young Christians should read this and get clear bearings for a lifetime of fruitfulness; mature Christians should read this and be refreshed. I cannot recommend this highly enough; it is a must-read for us all." Michael Reeves, president and professor of theology, Union School of Theology
