Christ’s Victory Means
We Can Live Lives of Holiness



      We may become pure and holy. 1ST 504

      The present message - justification by faith - is a message from God; it bears the divine credentials, for its fruit is unto holiness. 1SM359

      The faith of the genuine believer will be made manifest in purity and holiness of character. YI 122

      Ample provisions have been made for all who sincerely, earnestly, and thoughtfully set about perfecting holiness in the fear of God. Power and strength, grace and glory, have been provided through Christ, to be brought by ministering angels to the heirs of salvation. 2RH 74

      It was His aim to impart knowledge whereby men might increase in spiritual strength, and advance in the way of obedience and true holiness. 2RH 563

      The holiness of His character is reflected by all who serve Him in spirit and in truth. 3RH 423

      The life of the Christian is not barren; he has his fruit unto holiness, and the end is everlasting life. 1RH 525

      Only through faith in Christ can the heart be made holy. YI 567

      As God is holy in His sphere, so fallen man, through faith in Christ, is to be holy in his sphere. AA 559

      The life of him in whose heart Christ abides, will reveal practical godliness. The character will be purified, elevated, ennobled, and glorified. Pure doctrine will blend with works of righteousness; heavenly precepts will mingle with holy practices. AA 560

95
      No repentance is genuine that does not work reformation. The righteousness of Christ is not a cloak to cover unconfessed and unforsaken sin; it is a principle of life that transforms the character and controls the conduct. Holiness is whole-ness for God; it is the entire surrender of heart and life to the indwelling of the principles of heaven. DA 555-6

      God desires to manifest through you the holiness, the benevolence, the compassion, of His own character. DA 677

      God calls for personal holiness. 5RH 101

      It is sin that has dragged down and degraded the faculties of the soul; but through faith in Jesus Christ as our Redeemer, we may be restored to holiness and truth. 3ST 86

      Jesus is the sin-bearer. He takes away our sins, and makes us partakers of His holiness. YI 226

      He says, “I will write My law in their hearts.” In those who come to Him in faith He will create a divine principle of holiness which will rule in the soul, enlightening the understanding and captivating the affections. 4ST 71

      God says, “A new heart will I give you.” Every learner may be renewed in knowledge and true holiness. 4ST 396

      As the sinner, drawn by the love of Christ, approaches the cross, and prostrates himself before it, there is a new creation. A new heart is given him. He becomes a new creature in Christ Jesus. Holiness finds that it has nothing more to require. 4ST 243

      He desires us to walk before Him in holiness, bearing fruit to His glory. 4ST 143

      Willing and obedient, he is one of the number called by Inspiration “a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people.” 4ST 15

      God desires to recover that soul (degraded by sin), and to retrace upon it His own image in righteousness and holiness. MH 163

      Receiving and imparting His blessings, we grow in grace, increasing in strength and holiness. 4ST 234

      Christ wants to give us a blessing that will make us holy. 4ST 506

      God satisfies the yearning desire of His children for peace and holiness. 4ST 230

96
      It is His desire that we shall serve Him with heart and soul and strength, not only for a hope of heaven, but in unselfishness, purity, and holiness we may be a blessing to our fellow-men. 4ST 211

      “Let us,” says the apostle, “cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.” 2T 375

      The refreshing or power of God comes only on those who have prepared themselves for it by doing the work which God bids them, namely, cleansing themselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. 1T 619

      In His light shall we see light, until mind and heart and soul are transformed into the image of His holiness. 8T 322

      The soul polluted by sin, through divine power is recreated after the image of God in righteousness and true holiness. 3ST 59

      All the followers of Christ bear fruit to His glory. Their lives testify that a good work has been wrought in them by the Spirit of God, and their fruit is unto holiness. Their lives are elevated and pure. Right actions are unmistakable fruits of true godliness, and those who bear no fruit have no experience in the things of God. 1RH 443

      When we confidingly take His proferred hand, and walk where He leads the way, He will lead us into the light; He will guide us into all truth, and will clothe our lives with the beauty of holiness. 1RH 430

      Jesus, the King of that land, is pure and holy. He has commanded His followers, “Be ye holy, for I am holy.” If we are hereafter to associate with Christ and sinless angels, we must here obtain a fitness for such society. 1RH 297

      I have been shown that many are in the greatest danger of failing to perfect holiness in the fear of the Lord. Ministers are in danger of losing their own souls. Some who have preached to others, will themselves be cast away, because they have not perfected a Christian character. In their labor they do not save souls, and fail even to save their own. 2T 511

      We want a daily renewal of the grace of God in our hearts, that we may climb the ladder of perfection step by step, rising higher and higher in the way that leads to heaven, to holiness, and to God. 5RH 134

      Those who truly love Christ will not be satisfied with a cheap experience. They will work out earnestly the characteristics of the divine pattern. Their hearts will seek for purity and true holiness. To such

97
the Lord will reveal His grace, and will give power to win souls to heaven. 5RH 528

      No man receives holiness as a birthright, or as a gift from any other human being. Holiness is a gift of God through Christ. Those who receive the Saviour become sons of God. They are His spiritual children, born again, renewed in righteousness and true holiness. Their minds are changed. With clearer vision they behold eternal realities. They are adopted into God’s family, and they become conformed to His likeness, changed by His Spirit from glory to glory. 4ST 274

      Jesus has made an infinite sacrifice, that we may build up our lives in pure, holy, upright deeds, and may grow up into an holy temple for God. 2RH 258

      It is a knowledge of Christ as the sin-bearer, as the propitiation for our iniquities, that enables us to live a life of holiness. 3RH 267

      Heaven looks with pleasure upon him who worships God in spirit and in truth and in the beauty of holiness. 3RH 240

      The narrow path of holiness, the way cast up for the ransomed of the Lord to walk in, is illuminated by Him who is the Light of the world. 3RH 228
