The sanctification of the soul by the working of the Holy Spirit is the implanting of Christ's nature in humanity. Gospel religion is Christ in the life--a living, active principle. It is the grace of Christ revealed in character and wrought out in good works. The principles of the gospel cannot be disconnected from any department of practical life. Every line of Christian experience and labor is to be a representation of the life of Christ.

Når et menneske helliggøres ved Helligåndens påvirkning, betyder det, at vi modtager Kristi natur Sand, evangelisk tro er at have Kristus i sit liv, det er et levende, virksomt princip. Det er Kristi nåde, der åbenbares i vor karakter og i gode gerninger Evangeliets principper kan ikke skilles fra nogen gren af vort liv og levned. Alt, hvad en kristen foretager sig, må være en fremstilling af Kristi liv.
