Beet, J.A. – Holiness: Symbolic and Real

Holiness: Symbolic and Real

a Bible Study
by Joseph Agar Beet, D.D.
FIRST EDITION April 1910

  • Sanctify them in the Truth. . . . On their behalf I sanctify Myself, in order that also they may themselves be sanctified.” Joh 17:17, 19.
  • May the God of peace Himself sanctify you. . . .  Faithful is He who calls you, who also will do it.” 1Th 5:23-24.
  • It is written, Ye shall be holy: because I am holy.” 1Pe 1:16.

This is a general study on holiness in the Bible. Beet looks at holiness in the different divisions of the Old Testament and New Testament, as well as in the Septuagint version and the Apocrypha. He then turns to the holiness of Christ, and then the servants of Christ. Then he looks at the life devoted to God, and other general concepts of holiness (in Christ, by Faith, as opposed to sin, growth in holiness, the holiness of God, and Holiness in the Methodist Revival).
