Truths About Holiness

2/18/2010

“There will be no great Revival until the people of God are deeply convicted of their need of holiness.” (Major Allistaire Smith; Salvation Army).

“A God-sent Revival must ever be related to holiness.” (Duncan Campbell)

“Holiness has been the message of saints of God down the centuries, and was the foundation of the glorious Revivals of Christianity under the original Quakers, Methodists and the Salvation Army and wherever it is truly known and experienced, it is the bringer-in of Revival today.” (Paget Wilkes)

“That such widespread misunderstanding should exist about the word (sanctification) and its meaning, is a spiritual disaster. If there is one New Testament term more than another which calls for rescue it is that precious, expressive word, Sanctification.” (Sidlow Baxter)

“Believers must be brought into conviction of the shame and evil of the carnal state. God brings believers into, what may be called, a second conviction—conviction of a need of deliverance from the power of sin.” (Andrew Murray)

“True holiness is a Revival of Holiness. Personal holiness is more desirable than happiness,” he (Duncan Campbell) taught, “and it is not in heaven alone that God wants our saintliness—it is here and now; holiness is not just a doctrine to be taught, it is a way of life; it is the life of Jesus.” (Duncan Campbell)

“God Who delivers us from the guilt of sin through faith in Jesus Christ, is able to deliver the believer from the power of sin as well.” (J. Edwin Orr)
