Holiness of heart and life. This is not the perfection of the human nature, but the holiness of the divine nature dwelling within.

Indwelling Life of Christ
Jesus didn’t die to save us from hell – 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 … [and to make us] holy in speech … in actions … in everything.

I give up all my own plans and purposes – Betty Scott Stam
Lord, I give up all my own plans and purposes. All my own desires and hopes and accept Your will for my life. I give myself, my life, my all, utterly to You to be Yours forever. Fill me and seal me with Your Holy Spirit. Use me as You will, send me where you will, work out Your whole will in my life at any cost, now and forever. To me to live is Christ. Amen.

Does Christ control you? – Dawson Trotman
The question for each man to settle is not what he would do for the Lord if he had more money, time or education, but what he will do with the things he has. It’s not who you are or what you have that matters—but whether Christ controls you.

The importance of God’s Spirit – Bill Bright
No truth is more important to the believer than an understanding of the person and ministry of the Holy Spirit and how to be filled and controlled by Him as a way of life by faith.

The Heart – Richard Baxter
The first and great work of a Christian is about his heart. There it is that God dwells by His Spirit, in His saints; and there it is that sin and Satan reign, in the ungodly. The great duties and the great sins are those of the heart. There is the root of good and evil: the tongue and life are but the fruits and expressions of that which dwells within.
