One of my favorite quotations from JC Ryle is:
“Holiness is…the habit of agreeing in God’s judgment – hating what He hates – loving what He loves – and measuring everything in this world by the standard of His Word.”
One of my favorite quotations from this selection is from John MacArthur on Baptism:
“Baptism does not produce forgiveness and cleansing from sin. The reality of forgiveness precedes the rite of baptism… Genuine repentance brings from God the forgiveness of sins, and because of that the new believer was to be baptized. “
