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

Thomas Brooks emphasizes the absolute necessity of holiness for
salvation, asserting that without it, no one will see the Lord. He
vividly illustrates that heaven is filled with the holy, and there is no
place for the unholy among them. Brooks warns that even the greatest
human attributes and achievements are worthless without heart-purity, as
God will ultimately deny entry to those who are not holy. The sermon
serves as a stark reminder that true holiness is essential for eternal
life with God.

"Without holiness no one will see the Lord." Hebrews 12:14

O, do not deceive your own souls! Holiness is of absolute

necessity; without it you shall never see the Lord!

There are many thousand thousands now in heaven--but

not one unholy one among them all! There is . . .

not one sinner among all those saints;

not one goat among all those sheep;

not one weed among all those flowers;

not one thorn or prickle among all those roses;

not one pebble among all those glistening diamonds;

not one Cain among all those Abels;

not one Judas among all the apostles;

nor one Demas among all the preachers;

not one Simon Magus among all the professors.

Heaven is only for the holy man--and the holy man

alone, is for heaven.

Without holiness here--no heaven hereafter! "And there

shall never enter into it, anything that defiles." Rev. 21:27.

God will at last shut the gates of glory against every

person who is without heart-purity.

If a man had . . .

the wisdom of Solomon,

the strength of Samson,

the courage of Joshua,

the policy of Ahithophel,

the power of Ahasuerus, and

the eloquence of Apollos;

yet all these without holiness would never save him.
