So impudent are some, that they boast they are none of the holy ones: Is it not the Spirit of Holiness which marks the sheep of Christ from the goats, Eph. 1. 13. Ye were sealed (or marked) with the Holy Spirit: And is it a matter for men to boast of, that they have none of the Spirits ear-mark upon them? Doth not the Apostle say, that without holiness no man shall see the Lord, Heb. 12. 14. Such as bless themselves in their unholiness, had best go ring the Bells for joy that they shall never see God.
Others there are that hate holiness: sin and holiness never meet but they fight: holiness dischargeth its fire of zeal against sin, and sin spits its venom of malice at holiness: Many pretend to love Christ as a Saviour, but hate him as he is the Holy One, Act. 3. 14.
Use 2.1 Let us labour to be like God in holiness.
