F.B. Meyer emphasizes the lasting influence of David, describing him as 'a man of God' whose life exemplified total surrender to God's will. Despite his failures, David's heart remained directed towards God, making him a model for believers. Meyer encourages listeners to give all to God, take all from God, and use all for God, highlighting that true strength and victory come from accepting God's fullness in Jesus. The sermon calls for a complete and unreserved commitment to God's purpose, aiming for His glory in every aspect of life.

A.W. Tozer emphasizes that every act of a Christian's daily life can be transformed into an act of worship that glorifies God. He encourages believers to consciously dedicate their entire selves to God, allowing each subsequent action to reflect that commitment. Through meditation, prayer, and constant remembrance of this truth, Christians can grasp its profound significance. Tozer reminds us that Jesus lived a life where every action was sacred, and we too should offer our acts to God, trusting in His acceptance. By doing so, we can confront life's challenges with a strong faith in Christ's sufficiency.

H.C.G. Moule emphasizes that the central focus of St. Paul's life was the glorification of Jesus Christ, transcending personal ambitions and even the Church itself. For Paul, the desire to magnify Christ was not just a thought but an all-consuming passion that shaped his every action, whether in life or death. This magnification of Christ is not about making Him greater, as He is already supreme, but about revealing His glory to others through our lives. Moule encourages believers to seek this same ambition, to allow Christ to shine through them, while remaining vigilant against self-seeking motives. Ultimately, the sermon calls for a life dedicated to showcasing the love and glory of Christ in all circumstances.

Andrew Murray emphasizes that all things originate from God, exist through His power, and are ultimately directed towards Him. He highlights that recognizing and living in accordance with this truth brings glory to God, which is the purpose of human existence. By acknowledging God's sovereignty and purpose, believers can find true blessedness and fulfillment in their lives. This understanding is essential for living a life that honors God and reflects His glory.

T. Austin-Sparks emphasizes the profound relevance of Christ in the life of Paul as expressed in Philippians, where Paul declares that 'Christ shall be magnified in my body.' Paul’s life was entirely centered on Christ, viewing both life and death as opportunities for His glory. He illustrates that Christ was not only his life but also his mindset, objective, and strength, urging believers to adopt a similar disposition of humility and commitment. Through various experiences, including imprisonment, Paul exemplified how Christ's presence transforms even the most challenging situations into opportunities for divine expression. Ultimately, the sermon calls for believers to recognize Christ as their all-encompassing purpose and source of strength.

F.B. Meyer emphasizes the importance of living a life in complete dependence on Jesus, mirroring the relationship Jesus had with the Father. He illustrates this through the example of an eastern prince who found life’s secret in simplicity and meditation, urging believers to enter into Christ's inner chamber. Meyer explains that Jesus chose a life of dependence rather than independence, demonstrating that true life comes from relying on God. He encourages the congregation to make Jesus the center of their lives, to seek His glory, and to live in accordance with God's will, ultimately leading to a richer, more fulfilling existence. The sermon concludes with a call to be filled with the Holy Spirit to empower this dependent life.
