What does holiness look like? J.C. Ryle explains:
- True sanctification then does not consist in talk about religion.
- True sanctification does not consist in temporary religious feelings.
- True sanctification does not consist in outward formalism and external devoutness.
- Sanctification does not consist in retirement from our place in life, and the renunciation of our social duties.
- Sanctification does not consist in the occasional performance of right actions. (p. 32)
- Genuine sanctification will show itself in habitual respect to God’s law, and habitual effort to live in obedience to it as the rule of life.
- Genuine sanctification will show itself in an habitual endeavor to do Christ’s will, and to live by His practical precepts.
- Genuine sanctification will show itself in an habitual desire to live up to the standard which St. Paul sets before the churches in his writings.
- Genuine sanctification will show itself in habitual attention to the active graces which our Lord so beautifully exemplified, and especially to the grace of charity.
- Genuine sanctification, in the last place, will show itself in habitual attention to the passive graces of Christianity.
