"The holiness which God demands is impossible unless a man can be re-made from within, and that is what Jesus Christ has undertaken to do. Jesus Christ does not merely save people from hell: "thou shalt call His name JESUS; for it is He that shall save His people from their sins", i.e., make totally new moral men. Jesus Christ came from a holy God to enable men, by the sheer might of His Redemption, to become holy. "Ye shall be holy. for I the Lord your God am holy."

"Holiness is the characteristic of the man after God's own heart."

"You can never make yourself holy by external acts, but, if you are holy, your external acts will be the natural expression of holiness."
from "Run Today's Race" page 23

A 100% amen to that one. I am currently talking with some free-grace guys who deny this truth.
