Dead To Sin And Holiness

- Death to sin implies a death to our own interests and happiness as an end of pursuit, and a living wholly to the glory of God, and for the up-building of his kingdom. - Death to sin implies a will wholly subservient to and under the control of the will of God. I speak now also of a state of will. One who is dead to sin has no other will than that God's will should in all things be done. - Death to sin implies a self-denying state of mind, a disposition to give others the preference, a choosing to accommodate others, and bless, and benefit others, at the expense of self-interest or self-indulgence. - Death to sin is the real and practical regarding of our whole being as God's. - Death to sin implies the making of ourselves no reputation as Christ did. - Death to sin implies the real and practical regarding of our possessions as God's.
