In yesterday's blog I included a quote from the book "War On The Saints" by Jessie Penn-Lewis with Evan Roberts. If you decide to check it out, I strongly recommend that you get the "full text" unabridged version. It's an excellent textbook on the work and power of Christ, and practical advice on how to distinguish the work of the Holy Spirit from the counterfeit works of the enemy.
The book opens with a statement that is as true today as it was when the unabridged version was originally published in 1973: many Christians are unaware that a war is in progress. Not a war for land or wealth, but a war for the souls of men.
"All we like sheep have gone astray" (Isaiah 53:6). And, as the end of the verse indicates, Christ has borne the iniquity. He has already done the redemptive work. Hallelujah!
He did that, once for all, so long ago, and there is no expiration date. We have the benefit available to us- but a response is required. I hope that you have responded by accepting Jesus Christ as your Savior, and (for those of you who have) that your life is a daily demonstration of the decision you made to live for Him.
