This week, Caleb led us through the final chapter of Nehemiah and taught us about the “pursuit of holiness.” Through the events of Nehemiah 13, we see that our pursuit is tied to three specific things: 1) our pursuit flows out of a personal relationship with God, 2) our pursuit continues by taking God seriously, and 3) our pursuit of holiness requires positive and negative action. Caleb reminded us that there is a “letting go of sin” (negative action) and “putting on of holiness” (positive action) that we need to strive for as Christians that the Israelites in Nehemiah 13 failed to do. Ultimately, we are called to and achieve holiness in God alone.
