“Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father
in heaven is perfect.”
Matthew 5 :48
“…The
expression of Christian character is not doing good, but God-likeness. If the
spirit of God has transformed you within, you will exhibit Divine
characteristics in your life, not good human characteristics. God’s life in us
expresses itself as God’s life, not as human life trying to be godly. The
secret of a Christian is that the supernatural is made natural in him by the
grace of God, and the experience of this works out in the practical details of life,
not in times of communion with God. When we come in contact with things that
create a buzz, we find to our amazement that we have power to keep wonderfully
poised in the center of it all."
Oswald Chambers, My Utmost For His Highest, 1935,1963
