What holiness means - J.C Ryle

Holiness is the habit of being one mind with God - hating what he hates, loving what he loves.
A holy man will endeavor to shun every known sin, and keep every known commandment.
He will have a greater fear of displeasing him than of displeasing the world, and a love to all his ways.
A holy man will strive to be like our Jesus Christ. It will be his aim to bear with and forgive others, even as Christ forgave us.
Much time would be saved, and much sin prevented, if men would often askthemselves the question: What would Christ have said and done, if he were in my place?
