The Way of Holiness
'The Way of Holiness' Summary
The Way of Holiness by Samuel Logan Brengle is a classic work on the subject of Christian holiness. Brengle, a Salvation Army officer and evangelist, believed that holiness was not something that was unattainable for the average Christian, but rather something that was freely available to all who sought it.
In the book, Brengle defines holiness as "likeness to God." He then goes on to discuss the various aspects of holiness, such as purity, love, and obedience. He also provides practical advice on how to grow in holiness.
One of the key points that Brengle makes is that holiness is not something that we can achieve on our own. We need the help of the Holy Spirit. Brengle encourages us to surrender our lives to the Holy Spirit and to allow Him to work in us. He writes:
"Holiness is not a human attainment; it is a divine impartation. It is not something that we can work for or earn; it is a gift from God. But it is a gift that we must receive by faith and then appropriate by obedience."
Another important point that Brengle makes is that holiness is not a destination, but rather a journey. We will never be perfect in this life, but we can continue to grow in holiness as we seek to become more like Christ. He writes:
"Holiness is not a state of perfection, but a process of growth. It is not something that we achieve overnight; it is something that we develop over time."
Brengle also emphasizes the importance of community in the pursuit of holiness. He writes:
"We cannot grow in holiness alone. We need the support and encouragement of other believers. We need to be part of a community of faith where we can learn from each other and help each other to grow."
The Way of Holiness is a challenging book, but it is also an inspiring one. Brengle's passion for holiness is evident on every page. He challenges us to live lives that are pleasing to God and to become more like Christ.
The essence and spirit of the book can be captured in the following passage:
"Holiness is not something that is added to our lives; it is the very essence of our lives. It is what makes us Christians. It is what sets us apart from the world. It is what makes us like Christ."
Conclusion
The Way of Holiness is a must-read for anyone who is interested in growing in holiness. Brengle's insights are timeless and his passion for holiness is contagious. If you are ready to take your spiritual life to the next level, I encourage you to read this book.
