“Just as God the Father was rejected and spurned in the Old Testament dispensation, and Jesus Christ the Son was despised and spurned in His dispensation, so God the Holy Ghost is despised (as well as flattered), in this dispensation.” (source)

“A distinction may legitimately be made between transgression and sin (cf. Matthew 6:12-15). Transgression is nearly always an unconscious act, there is no conscious determination to do wrong. Sin is never an unconscious act, as far as culpability is concerned, it is always a conscious determination.” (source)

“Satan’s pretension is that he is equal with God. His perversion is two-fold: he tries to pervert what God says to us, and also to pervert God’s mind about us.” (source)

“Man’s soul is neither his body nor his spirit, it is that creation which holds his spirit and his body together, and is the medium of expressing his spirit in his body. It is not true to state that man’s soul moulds his body; it is his spirit that moulds his body, and soul is the medium his spirit uses to express itself.” (source)

“Original sin is doing without God. A noticeable feature in the conduct of Adam and Eve is that when God turned them out of the garden, they did not rebel. The characteristic of sin in man is fear and shame. Sin in man is doing without God, but it is not rebellion against God in its first stages.” (source)

About Oswald Chambers

Oswald Chambers (1874–1917) was a prominent preacher, writer, and evangelist. He studied at The Art School in South Kensington, the University of Edinburg, and Dunoon Training School.

Chambers served as a YMCA chaplain to British Commonwealth soldiers during World War I. He also worked as a traveling speaker for the League of Prayer and as the main teacher of the Bible Training College. His preaching ministry reached Britain, America, and Japan.

Chambers’ books are mainly compilations of his messages that were transcribed by his wife, Gertrude or “Biddy” as he called her. The daily devotional My Utmost For His Highest was first published in 1927 and continues to be a best-seller. 24 essays and books, including Studies in The Sermon on Mount and Biblical Psychology, can be found in the Oswald Chambers Collection.
