Why is Holiness Important?

Aug 25, 2025    Jason Duff, Christy Duff

Jason and Christy dive deep into the often-avoided topic of holiness. Is it outdated or still vital for today’s Christian? Together they unpack what the Bible says about being holy as God is holy, the dangers of compromise, and the true balance between grace and purity. From cultural pressures to personal struggles, they remind us that holiness is not about legalism but about living close to Jesus, empowered by the Spirit, and leaving a lasting legacy for the next generation.
