The very root of holiness lies in the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, and if we remove this and take a view grounded in more fruitfulness, we make the most astounding mistake. We have seen a fine morality, a stern integrity, a delicate purity, and, what is more, a devout holiness, produced by the doctrines of grace. We see people living in devotion to Christ; we see calm acceptance when suffering comes; we see joyful confidence at the moment of death; and we see these not in a few instances, but as the general outcome of intelligent faith in the teachings of Scripture.
