Only when every area of our life is fully surrendered to God can God achieve his purposes through us, and only when he fulfills his purposes in our life will our life truly be successful.

Alan Redpath
Alan Redpath (1907–1989) war ein britischer evangelikaler Pastor und Autor, der unter anderem die Moody Church in Chicago sowie Gemeinden in London und Edinburgh leitete. Geprägt von der Keswick-Bewegung, stand er für eine fortlaufende Schriftauslegung, die persönliche Heiligung, Gebet und die Abhängigkeit vom Heiligen Geist betonte. Für Bibelleser heute veranschaulichen seine Auslegungen und Zitate das geistliche Leben als lebenslangen Reifungsprozess praktischer Hingabe und Bewährung im Leiden.
