“. . .Be ye holy; for I am holy.” I Peter 1:16
Continually restate to yourself what the purpose of your life is. The destined end of man is not happiness, nor health, but holiness. . . .
God has one destined end for mankind, viz., holiness. His one aim is the production of saints. God is not an eternal blessing-machine for men; He did not come to save men out of pity: He came to save men because He had created them to be holy. . . .
Never tolerate through sympathy with yourself or with others any practice that is not in keeping with a holy God. Holiness means unsullied walking with the feet, unsullied talking with the tongue, unsullied thinking with the mind - every detail of the life under the scrutiny of God. Holiness is not only what God gives me, but what I manifest that God has given me.
From My Utmost for His Highest by Oswald Chambers
