I reject my “I” – Richard Wurmbrand

I wish to be an “I” no longer. I reject my “I.” My desire is to be a “He.” “When He is revealed, we shall be like Him” (1 John 3:2).

“Im Doing it for Jesus” – A W Tozer

And we would sanctify almost anything by saying “Im doing it for Jesus” I warn you Brother that you cant do anything for Jesus that Jesus wouldn’t do. … The only thing I can do for God is [something] holy like God. and the only thing i can do for Jesus is that which Jesus has allowed and permitted and commanded me to do!

Conversion & Profession – William Secker

When the wheels of a clock move within, the hands on the dial will move without. When the heart of a man is sound in conversion, then the life will be fair in profession.

Salvation is God’s Work, Not Man’s – Charles Spurgeon

God must perform the work, or else it never will be performed. Along the road from sin to heaven, from the first leaving of the swine-trough right up to the joyful entrance into the banquet, and the music and dancing of glorified spirits, every step we must be enabled to take by divine grace. Every good thing that is in a Christian, not merely begins, but progresses and is consummated by the fostering grace of God, through Jesus Christ.

If my finger were on the golden latch of paradise, and my foot were on its jasper threshold, I should not take the last step so as to enter heaven unless the grace which brought me so far should enable me full and fairly to complete my pilgrimage. Salvation is God’s work, not man’s.
