No attribute of God is more dreadful to sinners than His holiness.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Holiness is the strength of the soul. It comes by faith and through obedience to God's laws and ordinances. God then purifies the heart by faith, and the heart becomes purged from that which is profane and unworthy.
Virtue is akin to holiness, an attribute of godliness.
I'm a holy man minus the holiness.
A sinner can no more repent and believe without the Holy Spirit's aid than he can create a world.
We are 100 percent responsible for the pursuit of holiness, but at the same time we are 100 percent dependent upon the Holy Spirit to enable us in that pursuit. The pursuit of holiness is not a pull-yourself-up-by-your-own-bootstraps approach to the Christian life.
Holiness of life is not the privilege of a chosen few - it is the obligation, the call, and the will of God for every Christian.
Holiness through Christ's Spirit is the accountability every Christian should be striving towards.
For even these are no less bestowed on him of pure grace, than are righteousness and salvation themselves.
We may be surprised at the people we find in heaven. God has a soft spot for sinners. His standards are quite low.
There is no sinner like a young saint.
