Self must be utterly denied.

Do not confound work and fruit. There may be a good deal of work for Christ that is not the fruit of the heavenly Vine.
Obedience is the path to holiness, because it is the path to union with God’s holy will.
Holiness is not something we do or attain: it is the communication of the Divine life.
As the branch thirsts for continued sap, so the believer thirsts for more of the Spirit.
What is done in the will of God must have the mighty blessing of God.
Blessed is the man who gets into God’s secrets and works under God.
