(Thomas Watson, "Body of Divinity")
"Just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in
all you do; for it is written—Be holy, because I
am holy." 1 Peter 1:15-16
God is not drawn to any person's outward beauty,
great abilities, noble blood or worldly grandeur. But
He is drawn to a heart embellished with holiness.
Christ never admired anything but the beauty of
holiness. He slighted the glorious buildings of the
temple—but admired the woman's faith, and said,
"O woman, great is your faith!" As a king delights
to see his image upon a piece of coin; so where
God sees His likeness—He gives His love! The Lord
has two heavens to dwell in—and the holy heart
is one of them!
