If we lose sight of the
fact that God regards us from the standpoint of the will, if we get
to thinking of ourselves and God’s estimate of us according to the
flesh, we are sure to get proportionately into darkness and
confusion and discouragement. But let us not forget, on the other
hand, that the spirit, or will, is counted alive because of its
righteousness, because it is in harmony with God. Let us, therefore,
never be slack in respect to the will, or intention governing the
conduct of our lives, but remember that any laxity will mean the
proportionate loss of spiritual life. To will right is always
possible to us, and nothing less than an absolutely loyal will could
be acceptable to God in Christ. |
