• El crecimiento de los árboles y las plantas se produce tan lentamente que no es fácil verlo. A diario notamos pocos cambios. Pero, con el tiempo, vemos que se ha producido un gran cambio. Lo mismo sucede con la gracia. La santificación es una obra progresiva que dura toda la vida (Prov 4:18). Es una obra asombrosa de la gracia de Dios y es una obra por la que se debe orar (Ro 8:27).

• Sanctification has a double aspect. Its positive side is vivification, the growing and maturing of the new man; its negative side is mortification, the weakening and killing of the old man.

• Some Christians want enough of Christ to be identified with him but not enough to be seriously inconvenienced; they genuinely cling to basic Christian orthodoxy but do not want to engage in serious Bible study; they value moral probity, especially of the public sort, but do not engage in war against inner corruptions; they fret over the quality of the preacher's sermon but do not worry much over the quality of their own prayer life. Such Christians are content with mediocrity.

• Es demasiado fácil convertir la lucha de la fe en una santificación por lista de control. Ocúpate de algunos malos hábitos, desarrolla un par de buenos, y ya está. Pero una lista moral no toma en consideración los ídolos del corazón. Puede que ni siquiera el Evangelio forme parte de la ecuación. E inevitablemente, la espiritualidad de lista de control es altamente selectiva. Así que terminas sintiéndote exitoso en la santificación porque te mantuviste alejado de las drogas, perdiste peso, serviste en el comedor de beneficencia y renunciaste a la espuma de poliestireno. Pero has ignorado la mansedumbre, la humildad, la alegría y la pureza sexual.

• El vigor, el poder y el consuelo de nuestra vida espiritual dependen de la mortificación de las obras de la carne... Los creyentes más selectos, que son liberados con seguridad del poder condenatorio del pecado, deben sin embargo ocuparse todos sus días de mortificar el poder morador del pecado... Mortifícate; haz de ello tu trabajo diario; dedícate siempre a ello mientras vivas; no dejes ni un día de hacer este trabajo; mata al pecado o él te matará a ti.

• If you do not put a difference between justification wrought by the Man Christ without, and sanctification wrought by the Spirit of Christ within, you are not able to divide the word aright; but contrariwise, you corrupt the word of God.

• In justification the word to be addressed to man is believe - only believe; in sanctification the word must be 'watch, pray, and fight.'

• Happy are they, who in the matter of marriage observe three rules. The first is to marry only in the Lord, and after prayer for God’s approval and blessing. The second is not to expect too much from their partners, and to remember that marriage is, after all, the union of two sinners, and not of two angels. The third rule is to strive first and foremost for one another’s sanctification. The more holy married people are, the happier they are.

• Our work is not to save souls, but to disciple them. Salvation and sanctification are the work of God's sovereign grace, and our work as His disciples is to disciple others' lives until they are totally yielded to God. One life totally devoted to God is of more value to Him than one hundred lives which have been simply awakened by His Spirit. As workers for God, we must reproduce our own kind spiritually, and those lives will be God's testimony to us as His workers. God brings us up to a standard of life through His grace, and we are responsible for reproducing that same standard in others.

  Oswald Chambers

• Tenemos que arrepentirnos de la soberbia con que a veces juzgamos la Escritura y aprender a sentarnos humildemente bajo sus juicios. Si nos acercamos a la Escritura con la mente hecha, esperando oír de ella sólo el eco de nuestros propios pensamientos y nunca el trueno de los de Dios, entonces, en efecto, no nos hablará y sólo nos confirmaremos en nuestros propios prejuicios. Debemos permitir que la Palabra de Dios nos confronte, perturbe nuestra seguridad, socave nuestra complacencia y derribe nuestras pautas de pensamiento y comportamiento.
