All the love of God to me in Christ; all that the Lord has done for me by His life and death and resurrection and ascension; all that the Holy Spirit has wrought within me, is for this one thing—my being made holy. This religion that I have is to lead me up to dwell in a land that the Lord careth for, a land where I may find His favour compassing me about as with a shield; where I shall prove myself more than conqueror through Him that loved me, and where I am to observe and do all the law of the Lord my God. Do not think about holiness as a strange and exceptional thing. It is meant for every one of us, and it is the direct end and meaning of all that God has done for us and in us.
Mark Guy Pearse — Mark Guy Pearse, Thoughts on Holiness, forty-eighth thousand (London: T. Woolmer, n.d.), ch. XI, "Three Ways into Canaan," pp. 233–234
