The question of forming habits on the basis of the grace of God is a very vital one. God regenerates us and puts us in contact with all His Divine resources, but He cannot make us walk according to His will; the practising is ours, not God’s. We have to take the initiative and “add to . . . faith virtue. . . .” To take the initiative means to make a beginning, and each one of us must do it for himself: We have to acquaint ourselves with the way we have to go; and beware of the tendency of ...

Biblical Psychology by Oswald Chambers offers a profound exploration of the spiritual dynamics at work in human nature, providing readers with a unique blend of theology and psychology. Chambers, best known for his classic devotional work My Utmost for His Highest, delves into the relationship between God and His creation, focusing on the intricate makeup of human beings—their souls, spirits, and minds.Drawing from Scripture, Chambers seeks to illuminate how these different facets o...

When we speak of a call we nearly always leave out one essential feature, viz.: the nature of the one who calls. We speak of the call of the sea, the call of the mountains, the call of the great ice barriers. These calls are heard by a few only because the call is the expression of the nature from which the call comes, and can only be heard by those who are attuned to that nature.The call of God is essentially expressive of the nature of God, it is His own voice. Paul says that “Go...

The first appeal was to conscience, and could be expressed in this way: “Follow Him, He is Thy supreme Lord.” The presentation of Jesus Christ always awakens that desire, the presentation of abstract ideals never does. You can present morality, good principles, the duty of loving your neighbour, and never arouse a man’s conscience to want anything; but when you present Jesus Christ, instantly there is a dumb awakening; a want to be what He would like me to be. It is not conviction of sin, ...

This latest book of Talks, Lectures, Addresses, given by Oswald Chambers at different times and in varied circumstances—as when the New Theology was making its shallow appeal in 1909, or in the strenuous days of the Bible Training College in London, or when speaking to the soldiers in Egypt in 1917 (just before his own Home-call)—covers a wide range of religious thinking.The earlier chapters on Biblical Ethics remind us that the ultimate aim of Christ’s Atonement is that G...

Christian Psychology is based on the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ, not on the knowledge of ourselves. It is not the study of human nature analysed and expounded, but the study of the new life that is born in us through the Redemption of our Lord, and the only Standard of that new life is our Lord Himself; He is formed in us by regeneration (Galatians i. 15–16). We are apt to start with the way we are made naturally and to transfer our reasonings on that to Jesus Christ, inferring tha...

We need constantly to remember that the work of God in us is the foundation of our Christian experience and faith, and as constantly do we need to remember that we never can experience the ground and spring of our Christian experience. In other words, our faith must be in the reality of the Redemption and never in what God has done in us and for us. What is experienced in our individual lives is the efficacious working of salvation, but we never can experience the God who gives us...

Experience is not what a man thinks through, but what he lives through. The Bible is like life and deals with facts, not with principles, and life is not logical. Logic is simply a method of working the facts we know; but if we push the logical method to the facts we do not know and try to make God logical and other people logical, we shall find that the experience of life brings us to other conclusions. God sees that we are put to the test in the whole of life. We have t...

This Book will greatly help seekers after Holiness, because it meets us on the threshold of our life in Christ and leads us along a luminous path of Scriptural teaching, to the full measure of the believer’s identification with his Risen Lord. “The candidates for sanctification are those who have the first-fruits of sanctification in the initial work of grace.” They are then shown that the secret of holiness is the imparted holiness of Jesus Christ. “What a marvellous thing sanctification ...
