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

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.

The Christian life is the life of the Lord Jesus Christ lived two thousand years ago, lived now by Him in you!
– Ian Thomas –
Being filled with the Spirit is simply this – having my whole nature yielded to His power.

Nearness to Christ, intimacy with Him, assimilation of His character—these are the elements of a ministry of power.
– Horatius Bonar –
[God] wants you to have something far better than riches and gold, and that is helpless dependence upon Him.
– Hudson Taylor –
There are those who have a life they never live. They have come to Christ and thanked Him only for what He did, but do not live in the power of who He is.
– Ian Thomas –
The One who calls you to a life of righteousness is the One who by our consent lives that life of righteousness through you!
