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

by J.C. Ryle

Think what the children of this world will often do for liberty, without any Christian motivation. Remember how the Greeks, Romans, Swiss, and Tyrolese have endured the loss of all things, and even life itself, rather than bend their necks to a foreign yoke. Let their example provoke you to emulation. If people can do so much for a corruptible crown, how much more should you do for a crown that is incorruptible!
