You’ll never want holiness until you are convinced that it’s not meant to be a burden. Rather, in light of our last chapter, this is what God has created you to be and has now re-created you to become. Your destiny is for the image of God to be restored in you. That’s beautiful. And the path toward that destiny is to follow Jesus today and each tomorrow. “His commands are not burdensome” (1 John 5:3 NIV). But how can this be true? How can holiness become not simply an ideal belonging to Jesus but a reality belonging to us? Once again, union with Christ is the answer to our riddle.
