| The Christian is called out from the world. His life is not to be as the lives of those about him. Author: Harry Ironside |
| Many Christians have what we might call a "cultural holiness". They adapt to the character and behavior pattern of Christians around them. As the Christian culture around them is more or less holy, so these Christians are more or less holy. But God has not called us to be like those around us. He has called us to be like himself. Holiness is nothing less than conformity to the character of God. Author: Jerry Bridges |
| The pursuit of holiness is a joint venture between God and the Christian. No one can attain any degree of holiness without God working in his life, but just as surely no one will attain it without effort on his own part. God has made it possible for us to walk in holiness. But He has given to us the responsibility of doing the walking; He does not do that for us. Author: Jerry Bridges |
| Live as though Christ died yesterday, rose from the grave today, and is coming back tomorrow. Author: Theodore Epp |
