ch 19 Getz Holiness as a gift

We begin to see what Getz has been driving at here in this chapter where all those incremental things should mathematically add up to what this and the last chapter address Holiness and Discipline. But Getz interjects, and appropriately so, that Holiness is not something we do, although what we do may indicate the degree to which we have accepted God's gift of Holiness, Holiness is something then that we accept, admit, confess, encourage; and only do we so encounter it from Jesus alone. While behaviour is to be circuscribed and attitudes are to be healthy and focus is toward the needs of others, the actuation of all these mores begins and is continued and culminates in the Word of God.
