OhI m8-J ,h,t ,od ln t:" bKi'ining. We can love all nature around us and glorify i Hod In It. The psalm tells us "The ea til ' 1 is the Ixrd's and the fullness thereof: the world and they that dwell therein. It means human life, as alienated from i;od. "Be not lomf.irmel to tills world." means do not live and think, and feel, and net as ungodly people do. Think soberly of all. at all times. Think not too highly of self. How can we best f ght enemies around us? By overcoming those who are within. Are there any left in a renewed man? Doesn't Paul say "Likewise reckon ye youselvea dead unto sin. etc ? TVell how do we reconcile that with the etruRgle Ini- piled? Old Adam Is only "reckoned" dead. If he were really dead no reckoning would be needed. Judicially he Is dead in all who ara Justified by faith In Jesus. All who are bom of God get his nature. Tha Holy Ghost la the agent who does the work. Tha Father and Son have committed this part to Him. As soon as It Is dotie. the person is Judicially holy. Objectively he Is faultless lJude U. God does not take away all of tha old nature. The tendency to go wrong remains. We therefore have two naturea. A wordly man haa only one. Of tha renewed, Paul says "The flesh lusteth against spirit and tha spirit against the flesh. These are contrary the one to tha other." Hence the battle and our duty to overcome. The marvelous promises nerves for the fight. The assurance of mighty help gives courage. In Roman's 7, we find the struggle very vividly described. "For we know that the law la spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin. For what I do. I allow not. For what I would, that I do not; but what I hate that do 1. If I then do that I would not, I consent to the law that It ia good. Now then It Is no more I that do it, but aln that dwelleth ln me. For I know that ln me (that ln my fleah) dwelleth no good thing. For to will Is nreaent with ma; but how to perform that which 1 good. I find not. For th good that 1 would. I do not. but tha evil I .would that I do. I find then a law. that when I would do good, evil la present with me. For I delight ln the law of God after tha inward man; but I see another law In my members, wearing against tha law of my mind, and bringing me Into csajtivity ty the law of Bin, which la ln my member." Old Adam remalna. Ha la bad from the sola of the foot to tha crown of the head. Brightside and His BT LAFAYETTE PARKS. v.
