“ We must not neglect Biblical teaching on license. Christians are tempted to sin when they are taught that rules don’t matter, and that God loves you no matter how you behave. Legalism makes Christians think that God accepts them based on their behavior. Licentiousness makes them think that God doesn’t care about their behavior. Both are wrong; both errors have terrible consequences. True Biblical grace always bears fruit”–John Kincaid.

“Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us”–1 Peter 2:12.

“Holiness . . . consists of that internal change or renovation of our souls whereby our minds, affections and wills are brought into harmony with God”–A.W. Pink.

“God has called every Christian to a holy life. There are no exceptions to this call. It is not a call only to pastors, missionaries, and a few dedicated Sunday school teachers. Every Christian of every nation, whether rich or poor, learned or unlearned, influential or totally unknown, is called to be holy. The Christian plumber and the Christian banker, the unsung homemaker and the powerful head of state are all alike called to be holy”–Jerry Bridges.

“Be alert and think straight. Put all your hope in how kind God will be to you when Jesus Christ appears. Behave like obedient children. Don’t let your lives be controlled by your desires, as they used to be. Always live as God’s holy people should, because God is the the one who chose you, and he is holy. That’s why the Scriptures say, ‘I am the holy God, and you must be holy too’ “–1 Peter 1:13-16.
