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

by J.C. Ryle

We must be holy because this is the most likely way to do good to others. We cannot live only for ourselves in this world. Our lives will always be doing either good or harm to those who see them. They are a silent sermon that everyone can read. It is sad indeed when they are a sermon for the devil’s cause and not for God’s.
