Trying to gain holiness by following a set of rules just brings legalism and guilt. True holiness comes from the pushing in of the truth of the gospel ever deeper into your soul. This only happens when we receive the Spirit of God and set our minds and hearts on things above.

If we're going to be holy, then we need to face up to who God is. He is a God of love but He's also a God of wrath and He is opposed to evil and injustice, and that is good news. We need to take God seriously at Christmas so that this good news is more than just a sentimental feel-good moment.

Society seems to be growing out of the idea of life after death. But can we really attend a funeral and not give a thought to whether this is all life is about? When you're around death, you're close to eternity, and the veil parts a little bit and life seems very translucent.
