So long as the heart
(the mind, the will) is holy, in harmony with God and righteousness,
that is to say, so long as the... spirit of holiness continues in
us, the new mind cannot approve of sin, but must and will be its
opponent. Even though many of the battles fought are with the
members of our fallen and weak human nature, their appetites and
desires, we nevertheless, are separate and distinct from the
flesh; and the weaknesses and imperfections of the flesh are not
imputed to the new mind in Christ Jesus, but are reckoned as
covered, hidden under the merit of our Lord’s redemptive
sacrifice. |
