Savior, positionally he is perfectly holy, for at the moment the believing one is placed in Christ by the baptism of the Spirit, God sees him in Christ perfectly holy. This standing cannot be altered by anything that might happen to us, but our place of attainment may fluctuate from day to day since it is dependent on our conformity to His will. It is only as one gets a clear idea of the holiness of God of which he is made a partaker, that he can understand and be resigned to God’s chastisement.
