Sin is not wrong doing, it is wrong BEING, deliberate and emphatic independence of God.
Oswald ChambersThe Cross did not happen to Jesus: He came on purpose for it. He is โthe Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
Oswald ChambersIf we obey God it is going to cost other people more than it costs us, and that is where the sting comes in. If we are in love with our Lord, obedience does not cost us anything, it is a delight, but it costs those who do not love Him a good deal.
Oswald Chambers
