Holiness a Fruit of the Redeemed

 

I invite you to read Rigoberto Larraga Lara's book, with the theme of holiness, a fundamental feature of the Christian's character.

HOLINESS is a Christian doctrine. It is a good practice that is part of the fruits of a mature believer, preached by Christ and his Apostles, put into practice by the redeemed, testimony to the transforming power of the gospel, platform of preachers, and work of the Holy Spirit. No believer can be useful in the cause of Christ without holiness. The Authors introduce us to the subject in a simple way, but at the same time very challenging. Exhorting the reader to bear fruit of repentance from sin and salvation. We invite you to immerse yourself in the subject and make decisions that will change your life for edification.

What is holiness?

Without holiness, no one can see the Lord, it is necessary, it is essential, it is a condition to enter eternity with our Creator.

Holiness is important in the life of the Christian, it is necessary for every believer to know, practice and teach on this subject.

There is a vast volume of studies, books, and preaching on holiness. The objective of this book is to motivate the believer to search the Bible, to study the subject and put it into practice in his daily life.

Holiness is mainly associated with two words: “Separate and Set Apart”. These words shed light on their meaning.

The first word is to separate, it implies making a distance between two parties. For example: you can separate the rotten apples from those that are not and thus avoid the accelerated decomposition of all.

Another example is to separate clean clothes from dirty ones and thus prevent everything from smelling dirty.

Another example: Separate the dross from the Gold, thus making the gold more and more pure.

Christ Jesus called us from darkness to light, he put distance between those who believe and those who do not believe, admirable is our God and Savior who, being us sinners, he cleansed us and calls us to distance ourselves from sinful practices.

On one occasion a woman prostitute had been caught in the very act of her fornication. The Pharisees, wanting to test Jesus, brought her before him, with the intention that she would approve her execution by stoning her, as it was legal to do by Jewish law. Jesus being God teaching us his mercy and showing the world that no one else can forgive sins said: If anyone is free from sin, let him cast the first stone, the Pharisees dropped their stones one by one until they all left, Jesus then told the woman: Where are those who condemn you, go and sin no more.

Christ forgave this woman's sins, no one else could, since Christ paid the price for our forgiveness. The impossible for man was made by our Almighty God. However, what corresponded to this woman had to make her "turn away from sin" stop practicing adultery and fornication.
