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

by J.C. Ryle

thousands of people living in civilized nations whose ideas about Christ are not any clearer than those of the heathen. Ask them what they know about Jesus Christ, and you will be astounded at the terrible darkness that covers their minds. Visit them on their deathbeds and you will find that they can tell you no more about Christ than about Mohammed. Some of these people are in small villages, and others are in large cities, but all have the same thing in common: they are without Christ.
