Cultivating Christian CharacterSteve Gregg
In "Holiness: God's Character In Us", Steve Gregg defines holiness as sharing God's character. He argues that holiness is not just about external behaviors, such as abstaining from certain things, but about having God's joy and disgust towards certain things. He emphasizes that holiness is not just a religious thing or a matter of performing certain rituals, but about developing the character of Christ. Gregg believes that God entrusts his glory and reputation to believers, and expects them to become holy as He is holy.
