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

by J.C. Ryle

Awake to a sense of the misery of being a slave. For life, happiness, and liberty – arise and fight. Fear not to begin and enlist in Christ’s army. The great Captain of your salvation rejects no one who comes to Him. Like David in the cave of Adullam, He is ready to receive all who are ready to join with Him, however unworthy they may feel themselves to be. None who repent and believe are too bad to be enrolled in Christ’s army. All who come to Him by faith are admitted, clothed, armed, trained, and at last led on to complete victory. Fear not to begin this very day. There is still room for you.
