Continually restate to yourself what the purpose of your life is.

The destined end of man is not happiness, nor health, but holiness.

Nowadays we have far too many affinities, we are dissipated with them; right, good, noble affinities which will yet have their fulfilment, but in the meantime God has to atrophy them.

The one thing that matters is whether a man will accept the God Who will make him holy.

At all costs a man must be rightly related to God.

Do I believe I need to be holy? Do I believe God can come into me and make me holy?

If by your preaching you convince me that I am unholy, I resent your preaching.

The preaching of the gospel awakens an intense resentment because it must reveal that I am unholy; but it also awakens an intense craving.

God has one destined end for mankind, viz., holiness.

His one aim is the production of saints.

God is not an eternal blessing-machine for men; He did not come to save men out of pity: He came to save men because He had created them to be holy.

The Atonement means that God can put me back into perfect union with Himself, without a shadow between, through the Death of Jesus Christ.

Never tolerate through sympathy with yourself or with others any practice that is not in keeping with a holy God.

Holiness means unsullied walking with the feet, unsullied talking with the tongue, unsullied thinking with the mind - every detail of the life under the scrutiny of God.

Holiness is not only what God gives me, but what I manifest that God has given me.

The heavens are not clean in his sight. How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinketh iniquity like water?

Yea, the stars are not pure in his sight. How much less man, that is a worm?

Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness?

Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts.

As he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.—Partakers of his holiness.

The temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.—What manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, . . . without spot, and blameless?

Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying.

And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

Understanding what the will of the Lord is.

It is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.

This is the will of God, even your sanctification.—That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.—Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth: wherefore lay apart all filthiness.

Be ye holy; for I am holy.—[Jesus] said, Whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.—Whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.—The world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

Thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.

Draw not nigh hither; put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground . . . I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.

To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One.

I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour. I, even I, am the Lord ; and beside me there is no saviour.

As he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own.

Ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

Can two walk together, except they be agreed?

Holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord.

Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.—There shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth.—There is no spot in thee.

Ye shall be holy: for I the Lord your God am holy.—As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: but as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear.

Put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and . . . put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

He hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love.

Thou are no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

Reckon ye . . . yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin; but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.

As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: but as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

Sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in the turning away every one of you from his iniquities.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercies hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.—Saved by his life.

Our Saviour Jesus Christ . . . who gave himself for us that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.—As he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; because it is written, Be ye holy for I am holy.

The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, . . . hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.—In him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him.—Of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.

He that spared not his own son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
