Devotion in action. Godliness is not a spiritual luxury enjoyed only by saints of the past and superstars of today, it is both the privilege and the duty of every Christian. God has given to each us us "everything we need for life and godliness." But what makes a Christian godly? Godliness, says, Jerry Bridges, is devotion to God which results in a life that is pleasing to Him. Devotion is impotent without action; action is dry and sterile without devotion. We need an inward foundation of God-centeredness in order to build an outward structure of Godlikeness. In this sequel to The Pursuit of Holiness, Bridges tells how we can continue working on becoming holy. He explores topics such as: How our devotion to God springs from a balance of fear, love, and desire; practical guidelines for training ourselves to be godly; how we can deepen our devotion to God; how we can take on God's character by seeking the Holy Spirit's work in developing His fruit in our lives; here is strong motivation to live out your devotion - not to things, ideas, or people, but to God.--Back cover.
