Quote by Oswald Chambers

The great enemy of the life of faith in God is not sin, but the good which is not good enough. The good is always the enemy of the best.

Summary

This quote suggests that the biggest obstacle to having faith in God is not necessarily sin or wrongdoing, but rather settling for what is merely good instead of pursuing what is truly the best. It implies that being content with the good can prevent one from striving for the highest level of faith and connection with God. With the good being portrayed as an enemy, the quote highlights the importance of consistently seeking and pursuing what is ultimately the best and most fulfilling in life.
