"[Holiness is] the image of God fresh stamped on the heart; the entire renewal of the mind in every temper and thought, after the likeness of Him that created it."
Metaphor in Context
Perfect love and Christian liberty are the same thing ... and what is Christian liberty but another word for holiness? [...] Christian perfection is another term for holiness. They are two names for the same thing. [Holiness is] the image of God fresh stamped on the heart; the entire renewal of the mind in every temper and thought, after the likeness of Him that created it.
