Summary
At creation, there was no sickness, no disease, no impairments, and no sin. We were holy! Although God created us for holiness, cultivating it requires our participation. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson presents a series of statements regarding holiness, asking us to consider how we prioritize it in our lives. Holiness is not weakness, poverty, or passivity. Instead, the Bible shows a clear connection between pursuing holiness, and blessings and opportunity. Holiness is not an optional part of our faith; it's essential.
