Here is a quote from Jerry Bridges about why we, as Christians, struggle with pursuing holiness. I hope it speaks to you (er…um…stomps all over your toes….) like it did to me.
“Our first problem (with holiness) is that our attitude toward sin is more self-centered than God-centered. We are more concerned about our own ‘victory’ over sin than we are about the fact that our sins grieve the heart of God. We cannot tolerate failure in our struggle with sin chiefly because we are success-oriented, not because we know it is offensive to God.”
