Do we so appreciate the marvelous salvation of Jesus Christ that we are our utmost for His highest?

Do we so appreciate the marvelous salvation of Jesus Christ that we are our utmost for His highest?

Jesus, Appreciate, Christ
Oswald Chambers (1994). “My Utmost for His Highest: The Golden Book of Oswald Chambers : Features the Author's Daily Prayers”, Discovery House Pub

When a man says he must develop a holy life alone with God, he is of no more use to his fellow men: he puts himself on a pedestal, away from the common run of men.........If we are abandoned to Jesus, we have no ends of our own to serve.

Oswald Chambers
Running, Jesus, Men

At the back of it there lies the central citadel of obstinacy: I will not give up my right to myself--the thing God intends you to give up if ever you are going to be a disciple of Jesus Christ.

Jesus, Giving Up, Lying
Oswald Chambers (2015). “Called of God: Extracts from My Utmost for His Highest on the Missionary Call”, p.33, Discovery House

Which are the people who have influenced us most? Not the ones who thought they did, but those who had not the remotest notion that they were influencing us. In the Christian life, the implicit is never conscious, if it is conscious it ceases to have this unaffected loveliness which is the characteristic of the touch of Jesus. We always know when Jesus is at work because He produces in the commonplace something that is inspiring.

Oswald Chambers
Christian, Jesus, People
Oswald Chambers (2011). “My Utmost for His Highest Classic Edition”, p.478, Discovery House

Let the attitude of your life be a continual willingness to "go out" in dependence upon God, and your life will have a sacred and inexpressible charm about it that is very satisfying to Jesus. You must learn to "go out" through your convictions, creeds, or experiences until you come to the point in your faith where there is nothing between yourself and God.

Oswald Chambers
Jesus, Attitude, Sacred
Oswald Chambers (2010). “My Utmost for His Highest”, p.25, Discovery House

Jesus said, 'Go ... and make disciples,' not converts to your opinions.

Oswald Chambers
Jesus, Opinion, Said

The Christian life is stamped by 'moral spontaneous originality,' consequently the disciple is open to the same charge that Jesus Christ was, viz., that of inconsistency. But Jesus Christ was always consistent to God, and the Christian must be consistent to the life of the Son of God in him, not consistent to hard and fast creeds. Men pour themselves into creeds, and God has to blast them out of their prejudices before they can become devoted to Jesus Christ.

Oswald Chambers
Christian, Jesus, Son
Oswald Chambers (2011). “My Utmost for His Highest Classic Edition”, p.378, Discovery House

Jesus Christ demands the same unrestrained, adventurous spirit in those who have placed their trust in Him that the natural man exhibits. If a person is ever going to do anything worthwhile, there will be times when he must risk everything by his leap in the dark.

Oswald Chambers
Jesus, Dark, Men
Oswald Chambers (2010). “My Utmost for His Highest”, p.320, Discovery House

If for one whole day, quietly and determinedly, we were to give ourselves up to the ownership of Jesus and to obeying his orders, we should be amazed at its close to realize all he had packed into that one day.

Oswald Chambers
Jesus, Order, Giving
Oswald Chambers (2015). “So Send I You / Workmen Of God: Recognizing and Answering God's Call to Service”, p.133, Discovery House

Trust yourself in God's hands. Maintain your relationship to Jesus Christ by the patience of faith. 'Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him.'

Oswald Chambers
Jesus, Hands, Christ

Jesus Christ has undertaken by His redemption to put in me a heart so pure that God can see nothing to censure.

Oswald Chambers
Jesus, Heart, Redemption
Oswald Chambers (2016). “Studies in the Sermon on the Mount”, p.18, Gideon House Books

One of the greatest hindrances in coming to Jesus is the excuse of temperament. We make our temperament and our natural affinities barriers to coming to Jesus. The first thing we realize when we come to Jesus is that He pays no attention whatever to our natural affinities. We have the notion that we can consecrate our gifts to God. You cannot consecrate what is not yours; there is only one thing you can consecrate to God, and that is your right to yourself (Romans 12:1). If you will give God your right to yourself, He will make a holy experiment out of you. God’s experiments always succeed

Oswald Chambers
Jesus, Giving, Attention

Narrow all your interests until the attitude of mind and heart and body is concentration on Jesus Christ.

Oswald Chambers
Jesus, Attitude, Heart
Oswald Chambers (2011). “The Quotable Oswald Chambers”, p.37, Discovery House

We will suffer a sharp painful disullisionment before we fully surrender. When people really see themselves as the Lord sees them, it is not the terribly offensive sins of the fleshthat shock them, but the awful nature of the pride of their own hearts opposing Jesus Christ. When they see themselves in the light of the Lord, the shame, the horror, and desperate conviction hit home for them.

Oswald Chambers
Jesus, Home, Heart

Prayer is not only asking, it is an attitude of heart that produces an atmosphere in which asking is perfectly natural, and Jesus says, "every one that asketh receiveth."

Oswald Chambers
Jesus, Prayer, Attitude

Our natural virtues can never come anywhere near what Jesus Christ wants.

Oswald Chambers
Jesus, Want, Christ
Oswald Chambers (2011). “Conformed to His Image / Servant as His Lord: Lessons on Living Like Jesus”, p.119, Discovery House

Wherever there is any element of pride or of conceit, Jesus cannot expound a thing. He will take us through the disappointment of a wounded pride of intellect, through disappointment of heart. He will reveal inordinate affections-thin gs over which we never thought He would have to get us alone.

Oswald Chambers
Jesus, Disappointment, Heart

No enthusiasm will ever stand the strain that Jesus Christ will put upon His worker, only one thing will, and that is a personal relationship to Himself which has gone through the mill of His spring-cleaning until there is only one purpose left--I am here for God to send me where He will.

Oswald Chambers
Jesus, Spring, Purpose
Oswald Chambers (2015). “Called of God: Extracts from My Utmost for His Highest on the Missionary Call”, p.35, Discovery House

A river reaches places which its source never knows. And Jesus said that, if we have received His fullness, "rivers of living water" will flow out of us, reaching in blessing even "to the end of the earth" regardless of how small the visible effects of our lives may appear to be.

Oswald Chambers
Encouragement, Jesus, Blessing
"My Utmost for His Highest".

Sanctification means being made one with Jesus so that the disposition that ruled Him will rule us. It will cost everything that is not of God in us.

Oswald Chambers
Jesus, Mean, Cost
Oswald Chambers (2011). “My Utmost for His Highest Classic Edition”, p.88, Discovery House

If we simply preach the effects of redemption in the human life instead of the revealed, divine truth regarding Jesus Himself, the result is not new birth in those who listen. The result is {only} a refined religious lifestyle . . . we must make sure that we are living in such harmony with God that as we proclaim His truth He can create in others those things which He alone can do.

Oswald Chambers
Religious, Jesus, Redemption

In a conflict of loyalty, obey Jesus at all costs.

Oswald Chambers
Loyalty, Jesus, Cost
Oswald Chambers (2015). “So Send I You / Workmen Of God: Recognizing and Answering God's Call to Service”, p.54, Discovery House

Sanctification means the impartation of the Holy qualities of Jesus Christ. It is His patience, His love, His holiness, His faith, His purity, His godliness, that is manifested in and through every sanctified soul. Sanctification is not drawing from Jesus the power to be holy; it is drawing from Jesus the holiness that was manifested in Him, and He manifests it in me.

Oswald Chambers
Jesus, Mean, Drawing
Oswald Chambers (1985). “My Utmost for His Highest”

If Jesus is a teacher only, then all He can do is to tantalize us by erecting a standard we cannot come anywhere near. But if by being born again from above we know Him first as Savior, we know that He did not come to teach us only. He came to make us what He teaches we should be. The Sermon on the Mount is a statement of the life we will live when the Holy Spirit is having His way with us.

Oswald Chambers
Teacher, Jesus, Way
Oswald Chambers (2016). “Studies in the Sermon on the Mount”, p.5, Gideon House Books

Remember that we have to ask things of God that are in keeping with the God whom Jesus Christ revealed.

Jesus, Remember, Christ
