“The implication as far as this
prayer is concerned, is that greater
experience of the Spirit’s power will
mean the character of Christ
increasingly becoming the hallmark
of believers’ lives….Its force is that
the character of Christ…should
increasingly dominate and shape
the whole orientation of their lives.”
