1 | The Visible Struggle | 1 Tim 5:10 | DocTrinsograce | 244040 | ||
"For how soon that ever the Spirit of the Lord Jesus (which God's elect children receive by true faith) takes possession in the heart of any man, so soon does he regenerate and renew the same man; so that he begins to hate that which before he loved, and begins to love that which before he hated. And from thence comes that continual battle which is betwixt the flesh and the spirit in God's children; while the flesh and natural man (according to their own corruption) lust for things pleasing and delectable unto the self, grudge in adversity, are lifted up in prosperity, and at every moment are prone and ready to offend the Majesty of God (Rom. 7:15-25; Gal. 5:17). But the Spirit of God, which gives witnessing to our spirit, that we are the sons of God (Rom. 8:16), makes us to resist filthy pleasures, and to groan in God's presence for deliverance from this bondage of corruption (Rom. 7:24, 8:22); and finally, to triumph over sin that it reign not in our mortal bodies (Rom. 6:12)." --The Scottish Confession of Faith (1560) 13.2 | ||||||
