We Are Not Specimens in His Showroom - Oswald Chambers

We are saved and sanctified for God, not to be specimens in His showrooms, but for God to do with us even as he did with Jesus, make us broken bread and poured-out wine as he chooses. That is the test - not spiritual fireworks or hysterics, not fanaticism, but a blazingly holy life that "confronts the horror of the world with a fierce purity,: chaste physically, morally and spiritually, and this can only come about in the way it came about in the life of Our Lord.
