The Need for a Holy Life
A Passage from the book- Holiness - By J. C. Ryle
Over the years, the subject of personal godliness has fallen sadly into the background. The Christian standard of living has become painfully low. The importance of “adorning the doctrine of God our Lord and Savior” (Tit 2:10), and making it lovely and beautiful by our daily habits and tempers, has been far too much overlooked. Worldly people complain with reason that so called “religious” or “Christians” are not as amiable and unselfish and good-natured as non-believers.
Sound doctrine is useless if it is not accompanied by holy living. It is worse than useless: it does harm. It is despised and seen by the world, as an unreal and hollow thing, and brings religion into contempt.
It is my impression that we need a revival about scriptural holiness.
