When we commit ourselves to the pursuit of holiness, we need to ensure that our commitment is actually to God, not simply to a holy lifestyle or a set of moral values ... offer yourselves to God, and in doing that commit yourselves to the pursuit of holiness in order to please Him.
Jerry Bridges (2014). “The Discipline of Grace: God's Role and Our Role in the Pursuit of Holiness”, p.88, Tyndale House
