What is Scriptural Death Route Holiness? Part 3

From "Scriptural Death Route Holiness by L.S. Boardman:

THE ROUTE REJECTER

Some would tell you that their only objection to the "death-route" is the word "route." What's wrong with route? The Christian life is a journey, is it not? John Bunyan understood it to be a journey all the way from the wicket-gate-start, to the final entrance into the Celestial City. The prophet, Isaiah, said the way of holiness was a "highway" and a "way" (Isa. 35:8).

The Christians of the early church called themselves pilgrims (Heb. 11:13). Peter called them strangers and pilgrims (I Peter 2:11). Why object to the term, "route," in referring to seeking and approaching the point of receiving a sanctified heart? It is in perfect harmony with all of these above references. Others claim they object to the term "death-route" because it is not a Bible term. But the word doesn't have to be in the Bible, if the idea is there -- and it is! The word "Trinity" is not in the Bible either, but the idea is there, so we accept it without the slightest scruple. "Sacrament" is another word that does not appear in the Bible, but who would suggest that we do away with water baptism and the Lord's Supper simply because the word "sacrament" is not in the Bible?

No, my friend, that objection is simply a flimsy excuse. We need not scrap the term "death route" for that, or for any other reason. With some people it may not actually be the terms that bother them, but the whole matter of coming to the point of death to carnal self. Objecting to a term could be a smoke-screen for a death rejecter to hide behind. The crucifixion of self is the price millions are not willing to pay in order to get the deeper experience of the wholly sanctified heart. Hence they never receive the blessing of holiness -- purity, "without which no man shall see the Lord" (Heb. 12:14).

Some rare soul unknown to me has truthfully said: "If one thing in your life is not totally surrendered [to Christ] you'll never be happy." "Descend, O sinner, to the woe! Thy day of hope is done; Light shall revisit thee no more, Life with its sanguine dreams is o'er, Life reached not yon awful shore; Forever sets thy sun!"

I have seen people that take it by faith without paying the price. It just doesn't work. Seekers need to stay in faith until the fire of God falls and an inner witness is given. Being entirely sanctified is not something you need be unsure about. If you have the fullness of the Holy Ghost, and you know your heart has been purified, no one can preach away your confidence. Dear Reader, do you know this experience? Have you taken the death route, followed our Blessed Lord outside the gate, and met your end to carnality? If you haven't, you can began seeking today. May you come to know the truth about entire sanctification.
