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

by J.C. Ryle

Go then to Christ and say, “Lord, not only save me from the guilt of sin, but send the Spirit, whom You promised, and save me from the power of sin. Make me holy. Teach me to do Your will.” Do you desire to continue in holiness? Then abide in Christ. He Himself says, Abide in me, and I in you. . . . He that abides in me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit (John 15:4-5).
