Christianity is not devotion to work, or to a cause, or a doctrine, but devotion to a Person, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Christianity is not devotion to work, or to a cause, or a doctrine, but devotion to a Person, the Lord Jesus Christ.

If you want to be of use to God, maintain the proper relationship with Jesus Christ by staying focused on Him & He will make use of you every minute you live- yet you will be unaware, on the conscious level of your life, that you are being used of Him.

No healthy Christian ever chooses suffering; he chooses God's will, as Jesus did, whether it means suffering or not.

The greatest competitor of devotion to Jesus is service to Him. It is never 'Do, do' with the Lord, but 'Be, be' and He will 'do' through you. The only way to keep true to God is by a steady persistent refusal to be interested in Christian work and to be interested alone in Jesus Christ.

Oswald Chambers
Christian, Jesus, Way

A saint realizes that it is God who engineers his circumstances; consequently there are no complaints, only unrestrained surrender to Jesus.

Oswald Chambers
Faith, Jesus, Inspiration
Oswald Chambers (2010). “My Utmost for His Highest”, p.333, Discovery House

The Christian who is truly intimate with Jesus will never draw attention to himself but will only show the evidence of a life where Jesus is completely in control. This is the outcome of allowing Jesus to satisfy every area of life to its depth. The picture resulting from such a life is that of the strong, calm balance that our Lord gives to those who are intimate with Him.

Oswald Chambers
Christian, Strong, Jesus
Oswald Chambers (2010). “My Utmost for His Highest”, p.35, Discovery House

God plants His saints in the most useless places. We say, 'God intends me to be here because I am so useful.' Jesus never estimated His life along the line of the greatest use. God puts His saints where they will glorify Him, and we are no judge at all of where that is.

Oswald Chambers
Jesus, Judging, Saint
Oswald Chambers (1985). “My Utmost for His Highest”

God does not expect us to imitate Jesus Christ; He expects us to allow the life of Jesus to be manifested in our moral flesh.

Oswald Chambers
Jesus, Doe, Flesh

God never forces a person's will into surrender, and He never begs. He patiently waits until that person willingly yields to Him. True surrender is a matter of being 'united together [with Jesus] in the likeness of His death' (Romans 6:5) until nothing ever appeals to you that did not appeal to Him. And after you surrender--then what? Your entire life should be characterized by an eagerness to maintain unbroken fellowship and oneness with God.

Oswald Chambers
Jesus, Oneness, Yield

Beware of anything that competes with your loyalty to Jesus Christ.

Oswald Chambers
Loyalty, Jesus, Dedication

There is no condition of life in which we cannot abide in Jesus. We have to learn to abide in Him wherever we are placed.

Oswald Chambers (2011). “The Quotable Oswald Chambers”, p.13, Discovery House

Am I getting nobler, better, more helpful, more humble, as I get older? Am I exhibiting the life that men take knowledge of as having been with Jesus, or am I getting more self-assertive, more deliberately determined to have my own way? It is a great thing to tell yourself the truth.

Oswald Chambers
Jesus, Humble, Men
Oswald Chambers (2015). “The Place of Help: A Book of Devotional Readings”, p.82, Discovery House

When Jesus Christ shed his blood on the cross, it was not the blood of a martyr; or the blood of one man for another; it was the life of God poured out to redeem the world.

Oswald Chambers
Jesus, Men, Blood
Oswald Chambers, Harry Verploegh (1990). “The Oswald Chambers Devotional Reader: 52 Weekly Themes”, Oliver-Nelson Books

Yielding to Jesus will break every form of slavery in any human life.

Trust no one, not even the finest saint who ever walked this earth, ignore him, if he hinders your sight of Jesus Christ.

Oswald Chambers

Oswald Chambers (2011). “My Utmost for His Highest Classic Edition”, p.189, Discovery House

Jesus Christ carries on intercession for us in heaven; the Holy Ghost carries on intercession in us on earth; and we the saints have to carry on intercession for all men.

Oswald Chambers

When you meet a man or woman who puts Jesus Christ first, knit that one to your soul.

No matter what changes God has performed in you, never rely on them. Build only on a Person, the Lord Jesus Christ, and on the Spirit He gives.

Oswald Chambers
Jesus, Giving, Matter
Oswald Chambers (2010). “My Utmost for His Highest”, p.30, Discovery House

The peace that Jesus gives is never engineered by circumstances on the outside.

Oswald Chambers
Christian, Jesus, Giving
Oswald Chambers (2015). “The Place of Help: A Book of Devotional Readings”, p.77, Discovery House

If we believe in Jesus, it is not what we gain but what He pours through us that really counts. God’s purpose is not simply to make us beautiful, plump grapes, but to make us grapes so that He may squeeze the sweetness out of us.

Oswald Chambers
Beautiful, Jesus, Believe
Oswald Chambers (2010). “My Utmost for His Highest”, p.510, Discovery House

Jesus Christ reveals, not an embarrassed God, not a confused God, not a God who stands apart from the problems, but One who stands in the thick of the whole thing with man.

Oswald Chambers
Jesus, Confused, Men
Oswald Chambers (2011). “The Quotable Oswald Chambers”, p.48, Discovery House

One of the most amazing revelations of God comes to us when we learn that it is in the everyday things of life that we realize the magnificent deity of Jesus Christ.

Oswald Chambers
Jesus, Everyday Things, Deities
Oswald Chambers (2010). “My Utmost for His Highest”, p.95, Discovery House

It is a joy to Jesus when a person takes time to walk more intimately with Him. The bearing of fruit is always shown in scripture to be a visible result of an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ.

Oswald Chambers
Jesus, Intimate Relationships, Joy
Oswald Chambers (2010). “My Utmost for His Highest”, p.34, Discovery House

The golden rule for understanding spiritually is not intellect, but obedience. If a man wants scientific knowledge, intellectual curiosity is his guide; but if he wants insight into what Jesus Christ teaches, he can only get it by obedience.

Oswald Chambers
Jesus, Men, Understanding
Oswald Chambers (1935). “The Golden Book of Oswald Chambers: My Utmost for His Highest; Selections for the Year”

The Bible talks plentifully about joy, but it nowhere talks about a 'happy Christian.' Happiness depends on what happens; joy does not. Remember, Jesus Christ had joy, and He prayed 'that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.'

Oswald Chambers
Christian, Jesus, Joy
Oswald Chambers, Harry Verploegh (1990). “The Oswald Chambers Devotional Reader: 52 Weekly Themes”, Oliver-Nelson Books
