Wholly given to holiness – Charles Spurgeon

We must give ourselves wholly to holy things.

– Charles Spurgeon –

The cost of being a true Christian – JC Ryle

It costs something to be a true Christian.
It will cost us …
our sins,
our self-righteousness,
our ease and
our worldliness!

– JC Ryle –

The holier you become – Charles Spurgeon

I believe the holier a man becomes, the more he mourns over the unholiness which remains in him.

– Charles Spurgeon –

Evidence of a holy life – JC Ryle

People may refuse to see the truth of our arguments, but they cannot evade the evidence of a holy life.

– JC Ryle –

Saved for more than heaven – Leonard Ravenhill

Without holiness, no one shall see the Lord. Jesus didn’t die to save us from hell. That’s a fringe benefit! He died to get total occupation of us. To be holy in speech … in actions … in everything.

– Leonard Ravenhill –

The work of affliction – Thomas Watson

Affliction works out sin—and works in grace.

– Thomas Watson –

When sin becomes disgusting – George MacDonald

The salvation of Christ is a salvation from the smallest tendency or leaning to sin. It is deliverance into the pure air of God’s ways of thinking and feeling. It is a salvation that makes the heart pure with the will and the choice of the heart to be pure. To such a heart, sin is disgusting.
