The characteristic of holiness – Oswald Chambers
The characteristic of holiness, which is the outcome of the indwelling of God, is blazing truthfulness with regard to God’s word and an amazing tenderness in personal dealings.

God enables us to obey – Oswald Chambers
If Jesus ever commanded us to do something that He was unable to equip us to accomplish, He would be a liar. And if we make our own inability a stumbling block or an excuse not to be obedient, it means that we are telling God that there is something which He has not yet taken into account.

Do all from a perfect oneness – Oswald Chambers
All I do should be biased on a perfect oneness with Him, not on a self-willed determination to be godly.

In Christ and Christ in You – Ian Thomas
To be in Christ—that makes you fit for heaven; but for Christ to be in you—that makes you fit for earth! To be in Christ changes your destination; but for Christ to be in you—that changes your destiny! The one makes heaven your home—the other makes this world His workshop.

Jesus didn’t die to save us from hell – Leonard Ravenhill
Without holiness, no one shall see the Lord. Jesus didn’t die to save us from hell. That’s a fringe benefit! He died to get total occupation of us … [and to make us] holy in speech … in actions … in everything.
– Leonard Ravenhill –
I give up all my own plans and purposes – Betty Scott Stam
Lord, I give up all my own plans and purposes. All my own desires and hopes and accept Your will for my life. I give myself, my life, my all, utterly to You to be Yours forever. Fill me and seal me with Your Holy Spirit. Use me as You will, send me where you will, work out Your whole will in my life at any cost, now and forever. To me to live is Christ. Amen.
