He challenges believers to embrace the possibility of attaining holiness, as rejecting this doctrine would lead to dire consequences and render God's requirements meaningless.

Jonathan Edwards preaches about the primary foundation of gracious affections, emphasizing that true love for God and divine things stems from recognizing their transcendently excellent and amiable nature, rather than any self-interest or benefits received. He refutes the notion that all love arises from self-love, explaining that true love for God is rooted in His infinite excellency and glory, which is the chief ground of all true love. Edwards highlights that a natural principle of self-love may lead to affections towards God, but true and holy love in saints arises from seeing God's loveliness first, with self-love playing a secondary role.

John Nelson Darby emphasizes the distinction between the accepted man, Jesus Christ, and the natural man, who is blind to his own condition and lacks the moral motives of Christ. He explains that true acceptance before God is found only in Christ, who embodies the character that God delights in, contrasting this with the self-seeking nature of humanity. Darby urges believers to recognize their identity as 'epistles of Christ,' transformed by the Spirit, and to find liberty in their relationship with God rather than fear. He highlights the futility of trying to attain heaven through the law, which only reveals sin and condemnation, and points to Christ as the Mediator who provides true acceptance. Ultimately, he calls for Christians to reflect Christ's love and character in their lives, becoming living testimonies of His grace.

Meyer emphasizes the importance of personal responsibility in addressing the evils of the world, urging individuals to focus on improving their immediate surroundings rather than seeking distant opportunities for service.

Charles Finney emphasizes that justification by faith does not nullify the moral law but rather establishes it, countering the belief that faith leads to moral laxity. He argues that true repentance and obedience stem from understanding the gospel, which presents God's love and grace rather than fear of punishment.

Ultimately, he asserts that the gospel is essential for breaking the chains of selfishness and leading sinners to true faith in Christ.

Simpson urges believers to actively seek opportunities to share the message of eternal life, reflecting on the love and sacrifice of Jesus for all.

Baldwin preaches on the biblical foundation of entire sanctification, addressing objections by presenting numerous direct and inferential proofs from commands, exhortations, promises, prayers, and actual experiences found throughout the Bible.

Baldwin highlights that God's Word clearly teaches holiness through commands to love God and others, exhortations to cleanse ourselves and go on to perfection, promises of being filled with righteousness and sanctified wholly, prayers for sanctification, and examples of individuals attaining holiness.

Charles Finney emphasizes that true submission to God is a conscious choice that requires the relinquishing of selfish motives and a genuine love for God and others. He warns against false hopes rooted in selfishness, asserting that true submission involves a complete acquiescence to God's will and a commitment to prioritize His glory over personal interests. Finney clarifies that submission does not mean being willing to sin for God's glory, but rather entails a heartfelt obedience to His moral law and a desire for the good of others. He illustrates that true happiness is found not in pursuing one's own interests but in seeking the glory of God, and he concludes that the gospel calls for a disinterested love that transcends selfish desires.
