Sanctification means the impartation of the Holy qualities of Jesus Christ. It is His patience, His love, His holiness, His faith, His purity, His godliness, that is manifested in and through every sanctified soul. Sanctification is not drawing from Jesus the power to be holy; it is drawing from Jesus the holiness that was manifested in Him, and He manifests it in me.
Oswald ChambersGod nowhere tells us to give up things for the sake of giving them up. He tells us to give them up for the sake of the only thing worth having - viz., life with Himself. It is a question of loosening the bonds that hinder the life.
Oswald ChambersOur work begins where God's grace has laid the foundation; we are not to save souls, but to disciple them.
Oswald ChambersSpiritual maturity is not reached by the passing of the years, but by obedience to the will of God.
