The Pursuit of Holiness and Turning Back to God
This is an excerpt from Jerry Bridge's book The Pursuit of Holiness.
I strongly encourage you to buy the book. It's pretty cheap: http://www.amazon.com/The-Pursuit-Holiness-Jerry-Bridges/dp/157683932X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1339348980&sr=8-1
In all that has been said so far about our responsibility for holiness - the necessity of conviction and commitment, perseverance and discipline, and of holiness in body and in spirit - the activity of our wills is always implied. It is the will that ultimately makes each individual choice of whether we will sin or obey. It is the will that chooses to yield to temptation or to say no. Our wills, then, ultimately determine our moral destiny - whether we will be holy or unholy in our character and conduct.
