Behavior Quote by Jerry Bridges

“Many Christians have what we might call a 'cultural holiness.' They adapt to the character and behavior pattern of Christians around them...But God has not called us to be like those around us. He has called us to be like Himself. Holiness is nothing less than conformity to the character of God.” quote by Jerry Bridges — Download Open image
