Christian Life

October 8, 2011

Be courageous, O Christian! Be not dispirited, as though your spiritual enemies could never be destroyed; THOU ART CHRIST’S, and sin has NO right to thee. You are able to overcome them not in your own strength – the weakest of them would be too much for you in that; but you can and SHALL overcome them by the blood of the Lamb. Do not ask, “How shall I dispossess them, for they are greater and mightier than I?” but GO to the Strong for strength, wait humbly upon God, and the mighty God of Jacob will surely come to the rescue, and you shall sing of victory through HIS GRACE!

– Charles Spurgeon –
from AMEN & AMEN!

Were some watcher or holy one from the bright world above to come among us for a time with the power to diagnose the spiritual ills of church people, there is one entry which I am quite sure would appear on the vast majority of his reports: Definite evidence of chronic spiritual lassitude; level of moral enthusiasm extremely low.

Holiness is inwrought by the Holy Spirit, not because we have suffered, but because we have surrendered.

Holiness has love for its essence, humility for its clothing, the good of others as its employment, and the honor of God as its end.

Holy has the same root as wholly, it means complete. A man is not complete in spiritual stature if all his mind, heart, soul, and strength are not given to God.
