Eternal life is not a gift from God; eternal life is the gift OF GOD.

Oswald Chambers

We look upon prayer simply as a means of getting things for ourselves, but the biblical purpose of prayer is that we may get to know God Himself.

Measure your growth in grace by your sensitiveness to sin.

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

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

Condition God Learning Life Place Yourself
To say that ‘prayer changes things’ is not as close to the truth as saying, ‘prayer changes me and then I change things.’ God has established things so that prayer, on the basis of redemption, changes the way a person looks at things.
OSWALD CHAMBERS

Change Person Prayer Sight Truth Yourself
The expression of Christian character is not good doing, 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.
OSWALD CHAMBERS

Character Expression God Goodness Human Religion
Obedience to the call of Christ nearly always costs everything to two people- the one who is called, and the one who loves that one.

Call Love Obedience Oneself
There is no need to get to a place of prayer; pray wherever you are.

The greatest test of a man’s character is his tongue.

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

Expectation God Life Manifestation Moral Ourselves
Spend plenty of time with God; let other things go, but don’t neglect Him. We are not here to do work for God, we are here to be workers with Him, those through whom He can do His work.
OSWALD CHAMBERS

God Himself Neglect Time Work
Holiness, not happiness, is the chief end of man.
OSWALD CHAMBERS

End Happiness Holy Man
It never cost a disciple anything to follow Jesus; to talk about cost when you are in love with anyone is an insult.
OSWALD CHAMBERS

Cost Discipline Follow Insult Talk Yourself
It is not true to say that God wants to teach us something in our trials. Through every cloud He brings our way, He wants us to unlearn something.
OSWALD CHAMBERS

Learning Ourselves Stay Teaching True
When we no longer seek God for His blessings, we have time to seek Him for Himself.
OSWALD CHAMBERS

Blessing God Himself Seek Time
Self pity is of the devil, and if I wallow in it, I cannot be used by God for his purpose in the world.
OSWALD CHAMBERS

Eternal life is not a gift from God; eternal life is the gift OF GOD.
