"Whom God legally saves, He experimentally saves; whom He justifies, them He also sanctifies. Where the righteousness of Christ is imputed to an individual, a principle of holiness is imparted to him; the former can only be ascertained by the latter. It is impossible to obtain a Scriptural knowledge that the merits of Christ's finished work are reckoned to my account, except by proving that the efficacy of the Holy Spirit's work is evident in my soul."

-- Arthur W. Pink

Turn to the light; donâ€™t fear the shadows it creates.”

I don't know whether they've looked at the record of how sanctions actually produce exactly the opposite of what they wanted to produce.”
