There is nothing more beautiful than holiness, nothing more desirable than purity, and nothing more abiding than love. This characterizes the life of the Spirit-filled Christian and enables him to adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things. Holiness is always beautiful when perfect love flows from a pure heart and these are the qualities of entire sanctification.

Sanctification partakes of the divine nature in the sense that iron partakes of the fire; the rough, rude iron put in the fire becomes radiant, brilliant, and the fire may say to it: "I have imparted that to thee." So God may say to the soul, "I impart to thee the glow and beauty and warmth of my nature; thy soul is bathed in God."
