Every
Christian who falls into sin is a fool. If a Christian feels he is in a
state of defeat, it is because he is being controlled by his subjective
feelings, instead of by an understanding of the truth. Deliverance from
this condition, therefore, depends upon a total change in approach:
Christians are to look not at themselves and their problems but at what God had
done for them; their need is not the ‘hospital’ but the ‘barracks” where they
will forget their own troubles and ills, and learn to fight in the army.
We must
get rid of that notion of the clinic and the hospital; and we must look at
these things more in terms of God and His glory, and the great campaign which
He inaugurated through the Son of His love, and which He is going to bring to a
triumphant conclusion.
