Holiness Quotes

Dignity, and even holiness too, sometimes, are more questions of coat and waistcoat than some people imagine.

 Charles Dickens

It is not because angels are holier than men or devils that makes them angels, but because they do not expect holiness from one another, but from God only.

 William Blake

To desire and expect nothing for oneself and to have profound sympathy for others is genuine holiness.

Ivan Turgenev

Buddha's teaching are very simple, you don't have to break your head to understand the message. The part that I like the most from Buddha's teachings and from His Holiness, The Dalai Lama, is that the most powerful weapon is to not attack, to be able to have self-control.

 Ricky Martin

"True holiness is a Revival of Holiness. Personal holiness is moredesirable than happiness, he (Duncan Campbell) taught, and it isnot in heaven alone that God wants our saintliness - it is here andnow; holiness is not just a doctrine to be taught, it is a way of life -it is the life of Jesus."

 DUNCAN CAMPBELL

"People do not drift toward Holiness. Apart from grace-driven effort, people do not gravitate toward godliness, prayer, obedience to Scripture, faith, and delight in the Lord. We drift toward compromise and call it tolerance; we drift toward disobedience and call it freedom; we drift toward superstition and call it faith. We cherish the indiscipline of lost self-control and call it relaxation; we slouch toward prayerlessness and delude ourselves into thinking we have escaped legalism; we slide toward godlessness and convince ourselves we have been liberated."

 D.A. Carson

A spiritual awakening is no more than God's people seeing God in His holiness, turning from their wicked ways, and being transformed into His likeness. 

 Lewis Drummond

No one who abides in him keeps on sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him. Little children, let no one deceive you. Whoever practices righteousness is righteous, as he is righteous. Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil. No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's seed abides in him, and he cannot keep on sinning because he has been born of God. By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother.

 1 JOHN 3:6-10

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

 1 PETER 2:9
