Holy in Christ -
A few excerpts:
"There is no holiness but what He has, or rather what He is, and gives. Holiness is not something we do or attain: it is the communication of the Divine life, the inbreathing of the Divine nature, the power of the Divine Presence resting on us... When God calls us to holiness, He calls us to Himself."
"Where God is, there is holiness; it is the presence of God makes holy."
"Holiness is not something we bring to God or do for Him. Holiness is what there is of God in us. God has made us his own in redemption, that He might make Himself our own in sanctification."
"Seek not holiness in the first place in what you are or do; seek it in God. Seek it not even as a gift from God, seek it in God Himself, in His indwelling Presence."
"As we enter in and abide in the holiness of Jesus, it will enter in and abide in us."
"The more I see and have apprehended of the holiness of Jesus, the less shall I see or seek of holiness in myself. He will make me holy: my tempers and dispositions will be renewed; my heart and mind cleansed and sanctified; holiness will be a new nature; and yet there will be all along the consciousness, humbling and yet full of joy: it is not I; Christ liveth in me."
The older I get in the Lord, the more I appreciate the simplicity that is in Christ. I am not smart enough to remember all the steps to make myself good enough for a real Christian. And they have no charms for me. But I can remember Jesus, who gave Himself for me, and lives to make intercession for me, and invites me --ME-- to abide in Him, and He in me. And He wins me over every time I think on Him. His kindness towards me; His patience with me; His work on my behalf sweep my soul off its feet. His love for me is a mystery I do not understand. But I want it, and I am so thankful for it. This book highlights it.
Working For God!
In Working for God, Andrew Murray calls Christians to be instruments of God. Murray divides this call into thirty-one chapters, which are ideal for daily devotions for any given month. With each of his mediations, Murray provides accompanying scriptural passages. Like much of Murray's work, Working for God is a book of depth, producing new and important insights every time one reads it. Its theme are clear--e.g. waiting on God, preparing oneself as an instrument of God--but are never overwhelming or repetitive. Overall, Working for God is another outsanding devotional from Andrew Murray.
