Holiness is the habit of being of one mind with God, according as we find His mind described in Scripture. It is the habit of agreeing in God's judgment, hating what He hates, loving what He loves, and measuring everything in this world by the standard of His Word.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Wrong views about holiness are generally traceable to wrong views about human corruption.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Those who confine God's love exclusively to the elect appear to me to take a narrow and contracted view of God's character and attributes....I have long come to the conclusion that men may be more systematic in their statements than the Bible, and may be led into grave error by idolatrous veneration of a system

Image
Wherever we may be, or whatever our circumstances, the Lord Jesus sees them. We are never beyond the reach of His care.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Without the blessing of the Lord, your best endeavors will do no good. He has the hearts of all men in His hands, and except He touch the hearts of your children by His Spirit, you will weary yourself to no purpose. Water, therefore, the seed you sow on their minds with unceasing prayer.

The blood of Christ can cleanse away all sin. But we must 'plead guilty' before God can declare us innocent.

We know but little of true Christianity, if we don't feel a deep concern about the souls of unconverted people.
