“Am I willing for my human nature to be sacrificed in order that the life of the Son of God in me may be nourished, or do I only want Him to see me through certain difficulties? The way the life of the Son of God is nourished in me is by prayer and Bible revelation, and by obedience when a crisis comes.” (source)
“The safe position in Christian thinking is to remember that there are deeper depths than we can fathom, higher heights than we can know; it keeps us reverent, keeps us from hardening off into a confined, cabined experience of our own.” (source)
“God created Adam innocent, that is, he was intended to develop, not from evil to good, but from the natural to the spiritual by obedience, it was to be a natural progress. Adam switched off from God’s design, instead of maintaining his dependence on God he took his rule over himself, and thereby introduced sin into the world. Sin is not wrong doing, it is wrong being, deliberate and emphatic independence of God. ‘Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world . . . for that all have sinned’ (Romans 5:12).” (source)
“The whole purpose of a human personality is to turn the natural life into a spiritual life by sacrifice.” (source)
“We have the idea nowadays that God is so loving and gentle and kind that all we need do is to say we feel sorry for the wrong we have done and we will try to be better. That is not repentance; Repentance means that I am re-made on a plane which justifies God in forgiving me.” (source)

Oswald Chambers (1874–1917) was a prominent preacher, writer, and evangelist. He studied at The Art School in South Kensington, the University of Edinburg, and Dunoon Training School.
Chambers served as a YMCA chaplain to British Commonwealth soldiers during World War I. He also worked as a traveling speaker for the League of Prayer and as the main teacher of the Bible Training College. His preaching ministry reached Britain, America, and Japan.
Chambers’ books are mainly compilations of his messages that were transcribed by his wife, Gertrude or “Biddy” as he called her. The daily devotional My Utmost For His Highest was first published in 1927 and continues to be a best-seller. 24 essays and books, including Studies in The Sermon on Mount and Biblical Psychology, can be found in the Oswald Chambers Collection.
