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.

The work of affliction – Thomas Watson
Affliction works out sin—and works in grace.

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.

As we grow in holiness – Jerry Bridges
As we grow in holiness, we grow in hatred of sin; and God, being infinitely holy, has an infinite hatred of sin.

The holier someone becomes – Charles Spurgeon
I believe the holier a man becomes, the more he mourns over the unholiness which remains in him.

Imitating Christ – Francis Chan
It’s impossible to be a disciple or a follower of someone and not end up like that person. Jesus said, “A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher” (Luke 6:40). That’s the whole point of being a disciple of Jesus: we imitate Him, carry on His ministry, and become like Him in the process.
