Scripture encourages us to look forward to “the times of restoration of all things” (Acts 3:21). For both Israel and the Church, the first step to restoration is deliverance. The step that must follow is holiness. Churches today give scarcely any consideration to God’s requirement of holiness. Not only do Christians not achieve holiness, they do not even aim at it!
Deliverance is an essential part in achieving holiness. The letter to the Hebrews tells us “Pursue...holiness, without which no one will see the Lord” (Hebrews 12:13).
