"The name Holy Spirit teaches us that it is particularly the work of the Spirit to impart holiness to us and make it our own. You can only have as much of the Spirit as you are willing to have of holiness. And you can only have as much holiness as you have of the indwelling Spirit....To be full of the Spirit means to be fully holy."
"We have seen before that obedience is the path to holiness. In Christ we see that the path to perfect holiness is perfect obedience. That meant obedience unto death, even the death of the cross. The sanctification that Christ wrought for us, offering His body, bears the death mark, and we cannot partake of it either except as we die to self and its will. Crucifixion is the path to sanctification."
