Inhaltsangabe

Compared to previous releases of this title from EP, this new

edition restores the full text of Ryle's great work and includes the

preface by JI Packer, in which he reveals that this book was a

strong formative influence in his early Christian life. !

'Holiness is the habit of being of one mind with God'

In this classic collection of soul nourishing essays, as relevant and

helpful today as when first published in 1877, Ryle endeavours,

'by God's help, to examine what true holiness is, and the reason

why it is so needful'

The first part of the book examines the doctrine of holiness, from

sin and sanctification, to holiness, our fight for personal holiness,

what it costs to be a true Christian, growth in grace and how a

lack of holiness often leads to lack of assurance.

In the second part Ryle gives warmly drawn instruction from

scriptural characters. Moses, Lot, Lot's wife, the dying thief and

the Lord himself, teach us valuable lessons about holiness or the

sad effects of its lack.

Holiness concludes with a collection of practical and devotional

essays, ending with the exhortation 'Let us live on Christ. Let us

live in Christ. Let us live with Christ. Let us live to Christ. So

doing, we shall prove that we fully realize that "Christ is all." So

doing, we shall feel great peace, and attain more of that "holiness

without which no man shall see the Lord".'
