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

by J.C. Ryle

I sometimes fear that if Jesus were on earth now, many people would think His preaching to be legalistic.

But let us remember that the Lord Jesus did speak the Sermon on the Mount, and the epistle to the Ephesians does contain six chapters and not four.
