Synopses & Reviews
God has entrusted humanity with His Word and He intends to demonstrate His character through His disciples. When our minds are focused on God and we are growing in the realization of the purity of Christ's heart and His wonderful strength and power, we will find that that same characteristic is being worked out in us. In this three-in-one-volume, Oswald Chambers writes, 'Sanctification must be the direct gift of God by means of the instrument of the most earnest, intense, and personal faith.' Chambers says no one can acheive sanctification; we must inherit and appropriate it through a vital relationship with God through Christ.
