DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thomas Brooks emphasizes that true holiness permeates every aspect of a
person's being, affecting the head, heart, lips, and life. He explains
that holiness nourishes the understanding, adorns the mind, and
influences the will and affections, leading to a life characterized by
holy love, grief, joy, sorrow, fear, care, and zeal. This holistic
approach to holiness illustrates that it is not merely an external
practice but an internal transformation that manifests in every area of
life.

True holiness is diffusive. It extends, diffuses,

and spreads itself all over the whole person . . .

the head and the heart;

the lip and the life;

the inside and the outside.

The understanding is nourished on holiness,

the mind is adorned with holiness,

the will is bowed to holiness, and

all the affections are sprinkled,

yes, clothed with holiness--

love is holy love,

grief is holy grief,

joy is holy joy,

sorrow is holy sorrow,

fear is holy fear,

care is holy care,

zeal is holy zeal.

Real holiness spreads itself over

head, hand, heart, lip, and life.

"May God Himself, the God of peace, sanctify you

through and through. May your whole spirit, soul

and body be kept blameless at the coming of our

Lord Jesus Christ." 1 Thessalonians 5:23
