I Warmly Commend It To All Christians

Modern Christians, Especially Those In The Western World, Have Generally Been Found Wanting In The Area Of Holiness Of Body. Gluttony And Laziness, For Example, Were Regarded By Earlier Christians As Sin. Today We May Look On These As Weaknesses Of The Will But Certainly Not Sin. We Even Joke About Our Overeating And Other Indulgences Instead Of Crying Out To God In Confession And Repentance.

God Is Worthy Of My Loving Obedience Because Of Who He Is, Not Because Of What He Does.

The Solution To Staying On The Right Side Of The Fine Line Between Using And Abusing Grace Is Repentance. The Road To Repentance Is Godly Sorrow (2 Corinthians 7:10). Godly Sorrow Is Developed When We Focus On The True Nature Of Sin As An Offense Against God Rather Than Something That Makes Us Feel Guilty.

Holiness Is Not A Series Of Do’s And Don’ts But Conformity To The Character Of God And Obedience To The Will Of God.

We Must Not Allow Our Emotions To Hold Sway Over Our Minds. Rather, We Must Seek To Let The Truth Of God Rule Our Minds. Our Emotions Must Become Subservient To The Truth.
