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

by J.C. Ryle

We must simply repent and do our first works (Revelation 2:5). We must return to first principles. We must go back to the old paths (Jeremiah 6:16). We must sit down humbly in the presence of God, look the whole subject in the face, and examine clearly what the Lord Jesus calls sin and what the Lord Jesus calls doing His will.
