Practical Sanctification

“Fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.”
— Phil. 1:11

“The characters that Christ takes in connection with these last days are these, "the holy, the true." Yes, that is the character He takes; that which He desires in His own, in their walk, when He is about to come. We have to watch over ourselves and over our brethren that it may be so.”

“I do not believe that when people have really got out of Romans 7 they get back into it. One may have truly received forgiveness of sins and had joy; but self is not known; and it is necessary to know oneself to be delivered. … Until we are delivered, sin has dominion; when we are, Christ is our strength.”
