Holiness of character

Every true Christian life is beautiful, so far as it fairly and truly represents Christ.

Anything in religion which is not beautiful — is not a just or adequate expression of the Lord Jesus. Holiness of character , is simply the reproduction in human life of the likeness of Christ.

Any feature that is not lovely and winning, is not truly Christlike, and hence misrepresents Christ.

It is not the Christian religion itself which is unlovely in any case — but the misrepresents of it, in disposition and conduct of professing Christians.

"The one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked." 1 John 2:6
