Effect of the Cross...

The effect of the cross is salvation, sanctification, healing, etc., but we are not to preach any of these, we are to preach Jesus Christ and Him crucified. The proclaiming of Jesus will do its own work. 

~ Oswald Chambers

Sanctification

"Sanctification makes me one with Jesus Christ, and in Him one with God, and it is done only through the superb Atonement of Christ. Never put the effect as the cause. The effect in me is obedience and service and prayer, and is the out come of speechless thanks and adoration for the marvelous sanctification wrought out in me because of the Atonement." 

~ Oswald Chambers

What Is Your Effect on People?

"Here’s something to think about: What effect do you have on the people you hang out with? Do they want to be more and better, to live selfless and sacrificially, because they were with you? Do they desire to be more Christian or less by your presence?" ~ Hamilton
