Holiness is not opposed to grace. It is produced by grace. In this episode of Contending for the Word Q&A, Dave Jenkins explains why holiness is directly connected to the gospel and why it matters for every Christian today. Drawing from 1 Peter 1:15–16, Titus 2:11–14, and Ephesians 2:8–10, this episode shows that the grace of God not only forgives sinners but also transforms lives. This message addresses two common errors: treating holiness as optional and treating holiness as a way to earn salvation. Scripture teaches neither. Instead, true holiness flows from belonging to Christ and is the fruit of saving grace. Listeners will learn: • Why the gospel saves us for holiness, not from it • How grace trains believers in obedience • Why holiness reflects the character of God • How holiness protects the clarity of the gospel The gospel is not only the message that forgives sin. It is the power that transforms lives. For more episodes of Contending for the Word Q&A, visit: https://servantsofgrace.org/contending-for-the-word-qa/
