“Inward holiness will produce outward holiness, but the outward appearance of holiness is worthless without inward holiness. For example, a modest spirit will produce modest dress, but modest dress is of little value if it conceals a lustful heart.” HeartLustHolinessChristian LivingModestyChristian Quotes Book:Practical Holiness a Second Look Source: Practical Holiness a Second Look
“The death of the innocent, sinless Christ and the imputation of Christ’s righteousness to us satisfy God’s justice and holiness. If, however, we reject Christ’s atonement, then we are left to face God’s judgment alone. In this case His holiness demands separation from sinful humans and His justice demands death for sinful humans. So justice and mercy are complementary, not contradictory, aspects of God’s nature, as are holiness and love. If we accept God’s love and mercy, He will help us satisfy His justice and holiness. If we reject God’s love and mercy, we must face His justice and holiness alone (Romans 11:22).” LoveGodJesus ChristMercyTheologyHolinessPentecostalismGodhead Book:The Oneness of God: Volume 1 Source: The Oneness of God: Volume 1
“What about holiness people today? Will we follow the drift of other churches and of society until we are indistinguishable from the world? To most people today holiness is an archaic, quaint word. However, if we ever abandon the concept of holiness, referring to it as old fashioned, legalistic, and unnecessarily restrictive, there will be no logical stopping place. Without biblical holiness as a foundation, we will absorb the evils of a worldly, ungodly society as it becomes progressively worse.” ChristianHolinessChristian QuotesApostolic ChurchPentecostalism Book:Practical Holiness a Second Look Source: Practical Holiness a Second Look
“Those who reject moral law and practical holiness fail to understand that holiness is the fundamental characteristic of God upon which all His other moral attributes depend. In particular, God’s holiness is the foundation of His love and gives direction to His love. His holiness determines His love, not vice versa. Because He is holy, He does not love sin or evil. Because He is holy, His love is impartial and eternal rather than arbitrary, capricious, and fickle. God’s love can never contradict or override His holiness.” ChristianHolyHolinessChristian QuotesLove Of GodPentecostalApostolic Church Book:Practical Holiness a Second Look Source: Practical Holiness a Second Look
