Holiness: For the Will of God Is Your Sanctification – 1 Thessalonians 4:3 [Annotated, Updated]

by J.C. Ryle

“I baptize thee in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. . . . I sign this child with the sign of the cross, in token that hereafter he shall not be ashamed to confess the faith of Christ crucified, and manfully to fight under His banner against sin, the world, and the devil, and to continue Christ‘s faithful soldier and servant unto his life’s end.”[1]
