Christ's Pursuit

  
"Christ is my righteousness.  Christ is my holiness.  Therefore, becoming holy is not primarily a matter of pursuing holiness but primarily a matter of pursuing Christ.  Rather, becoming holy is a matter of receiving his pursuit of me.  And any righteousness I pursue that doesn't have Jesus in the crosshairs of my effort - or, again rather, having myself in the crosshairs of his effort - is self-righteousness."
