He that
sees the beauty of holiness, or true moral good, sees the greatest and most
important thing in the world. Unless this is seen, nothing is seen that is worth
seeing: for there is no other true excellence or beauty. - Jonathan Edwards
Christ will be master of the heart, and sin must be mortified. If your life is
unholy, then your heart is unchanged, and you are an unsaved person. The Savior
will sanctify His people, renew them, give them a hatred of sin, and a love of
holiness. The grace that does not make a man better than others is a worthless
counterfeit. Christ saves His people, not IN their sins, but FROM their sins.
Without holiness, no man shall see the Lord. - Charles Spurgeon
Let the Christian remember what
God thinks about sin -- the hatred with which
his holiness bums against it, the solemn sacrifice which he made to conquer sin,
and deliver us from it. Let him tarry in God's presence till his holiness shines
upon him, and he cries out with Isaiah: "Woe is me! for I am undone" (Isaiah
6:5). - Andrew Murray
In order to attain to holiness we need to have Christ revealed to us as our
Shield. As the Portion of his people. As our
Hope. As our
salvation. As the Rock
of our Salvation. As a Rock cleft. As a Rock Higher than we. As the Rock from
which the soul is satisfied with honey. As the Rock upon which the church is
builded. As the Strength of our heart. As He through whom we may reckon
ourselves dead unto sin, and alive unto God. - Charles Finney
As a good
Christian should consider every place as holy, because God is there, so he
should look upon every part of his life as a matter of holiness, because it is
offered unto God. The profession of a clergyman is a holy profession, because it
is a ministration in holy things, an attendance at the alter. But worldly
business is to be made holy unto the Lord, by being done as a service unto Him,
and in conformity to His Divine will. - William Law
Our
peace and confidence are to be found not in our empirical holiness, not in our
progress toward perfection, but in the alien righteousness of Jesus Christ that
covers our sinfulness and alone makes us acceptable before a holy God." -
Donald Bloesch
Study
universal holiness of life. Your whole usefulness depends on this, for your
sermons last but an hour or two: your life preaches all week. If Satan can only
make a covetous minister a lover of praise, of pleasure, of good eating, he has
ruined your ministry. Give yourself to prayer, and get your texts, your
thoughts, your words, from God. - Robert Murray M'Cheyne
