Some Thoughts On Holiness

Holiness has...

love for its essence

humility for its clothing,

the good of others as its employment

the honor of God as its end

-Nathanael Emmons-

Holiness is not freedom from temptation,

but power to overcome temptation.

-G. Campbell Morgan- 

I believe the holier a man becomes,

the more he mourns over the unholiness

which remains in him.

-Spurgeon-

In holiness God is more clearly seen

than in anything else,

save in the person of Christ Jesus the Lord, 

of whose life such holiness is but a repetition

-Spurgeon-

Holiness is goodness on fire.

-Walter Rauschenbusch-

Holiness is glory internal;

glory is holiness shining forth outwardly.
