Let me once more refer all students of holiness to Marshall on
Sanctification, and specially his third and fourth chapters. If they
will compare him with our modern works--say, for instance, _God's Way of
Holiness_, by so eminent an author as Dr. H. Bonar--they cannot but be
struck by the prominence which Marshall gives to the one thought, that
our holiness, a holy nature, is provided in Jesus, and that as faith
accepts and maintains our union with Jesus in personal intercourse,
sanctification is by faith. While, in other works, the union to Jesus,
and faith in Him, are but incidentally mentioned, and the chief stress
is laid upon duties and the motives which urge to their performance,
Marshall points out how motives never can supply the strength we need:
it is the power of Christ's life in us, it is Christ Himself, as we by
faith are rooted in Him, who works all our works in us.
