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.
– Ian Thomas –
from The Saving Life of Christ
Holiness of heart and life. This is not the perfection of the human nature, but the holiness of the divine nature dwelling within.
– AB Simpson –
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 –
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.
– Betty Scott Stam –
The ultimate goal of Jesus for His disciples was that His life be reproduced in them, and through them into the lives of others.
– Robert Coleman –
The question for each man to settle is not what he would do for the Lord if he had more money, time or education, but what he will do with the things he has. It’s not who you are or what you have that matters—but whether Christ controls you.
– Dawson Trotman –
No truth is more important to the believer than an understanding of the person and ministry of the Holy Spirit and how to be filled and controlled by Him as a way of life by faith.
– Bill Bright –
You can never learn that Christ is all you need, until Christ is all you have.
– Corrie ten Boom –
God gives His own self totally to us that we may offer ourselves completely to Him.
