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

by J.C. Ryle

Count up and compare the friends and the enemies if you are a true-hearted and holy Christian. On the one side is the enmity of the devil and the wicked. On the other side you have the favor and friendship of the Lord Jesus Christ. Your enemies, at most, can only bruise your heel. They may rage loudly and travel sea and land to try to ruin you, but they cannot destroy you.
