3. Let us lie very low and tender before God, that the Holy Spirit may reveal to us what it is to be holy in the Holiness of Another, in the Holiness of Jesus, that is, in the Holiness of God.
4. Do not trouble or weary too much to grasp this with the intellect. Just believe it, and look in simplicity and trust to Jesus to make it all right for you.
5. Holy in Christ. In childlike faith I take Christ’s holiness afresh as my covering before God. In loving obedience I take it into my will and life. I trust and I follow Jesus: this is the path of holiness.
6. If we gather up the lessons we have found in the Word from Paradise downward, we see that the elements of holiness in us are these, each corresponding to some special aspect of God’s holiness: deep Restfulness ([ch. 3]), humble Reverence ([ch. 4]), entire Surrender ([ch. 5]), joyful Adoration ([ch. 6]), simple Obedience ([ch. 7]). These all prepare for the Divine Indwelling ([ch. 8]), and this again we have through the Abiding in Jesus with the Crown of Holiness on His head.
