es sin and gives everything to have it
destroyed; love, that seeks the sinner and gives everything to
have him saved. 'Whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of
God, neither he that loveth not his brother.'

2. It is a solemn thought that we may be studying earnestly to
know what holiness is, and yet have little of it, because we
have little of Jesus. It is a blessed thought that a man may
directly be little occupied with the thought of holiness, and
yet have much of it, because he is full of Jesus.

3. We need the whole of what God teaches in His Word in regard
to holiness in all its different aspects. We need still more to
be ever returning to the living centre where God imparts
holiness. Jesus is _the Holy One of God_: to have _Him_ truly,
to love _Him_ fervently, to trust and obey _Him_, to be _in
Him_--this makes us holy.

4. Your holiness is thus treasured up in this Divine, Almighty,
and most gentle Saviour--surely there need to be no fear that
He will not be ready or able to make you holy.

5. With such a Sanctifier, how comes it that so many seekers
after holiness fail so sadly, and know so little of the joy of
a holy life?

I am sure it is with very many this one thing: they seek to
grasp and hold this Christ in their own strength, and know not
how it is the Holy Spirit within them who must be waited for to
reveal this Divine Being, the Holy One of God, in their hearts.

'God chose you to salvation _in sanctification of the Spirit_, and
belief of the truth.'--2 Thess. ii. 13. (See 1 Pet. i. 2.)

It has sometimes been said, that while the Holiness of God stands out
more prominently in the Old Testament, in the New it has to give way to
the revelation of His love. The remark could hardly be made if it were
fully realized that the Spirit is God, and that when He takes up the
epithet Holy as His own proper name, it is to teach us that now the
Holiness of God is to come nearer than ever, and to be specially
revealed as the po
