Another excellent chapter! Holiness is possible, even if absolute perfection is not. Numerous people are commended for their righteousness in the Bible and yet somehow we’ve preached (or feel) that nothing we do pleases God. It’s not true. Jesus asks us to obey because obedience is possible.

“The irony is that if we make every imperative into a command to believe the gospel more fully, we turn the gospel into one more thing we have to get right, and faith becomes the one thing we need to be better at. If only we REALLY believed, obedience would take care of itself. No need for commands or effort”
