Top Highlights
“Those who are really seeking to perfect Christian character will never indulge the thought that they are sinless.” (Page 7)
“Happy feelings or the absence of joy is no evidence that a person is or is not sanctified. There is no such thing as instantaneous sanctification. True sanctification is a daily work, continuing as long as life shall last. Those who are battling with daily temptations, overcoming their own sinful tendencies, and seeking for holiness of heart and life, make no boastful claims of holiness. They are hungering and thirsting for righteousness. Sin appears to them exceedingly sinful.” (Page 10)
“The most precious fruit of sanctification is the grace of meekness.” (Page 14)
“Those who claim to be sanctified, while they have no desire to search the Scriptures or to wrestle with God in prayer for a clearer understanding of Bible truth, know not what true sanctification is.” (Pages 48–49)
“Bible sanctification does not consist in strong emotion. Here is where many are led into error. They make feelings their criterion.” (Page 10)
