Holiness is the habit of being of one mind with God, according as we find His mind described in scripture. It is the habit of agreeing in God's judgment--hating what He hates, loving what He loves--and measuring everything in this world by the standard of His word.--J.C. Ryle
Saying yes to God means saying no to things that offend his holiness--A. Morgan Derham
God is more concerned with the state of people's hearts than with the state of their feelings. Undoubtedly the will of God brings final happiness to those who obey, but the most important matter is not how happy we are, but how holy.--A.W. Tozer
