[Songs in the Night - June 13]
Being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. Romans 6:22
THESE are wonderful words of life, indeed!
They
inspire us with hope.
If God will accept perfect heart
intentions instead of the absolute perfection of the
flesh, then, indeed, we have hope of attaining to the
standard which he has marked for us—the standard
of perfection.
We can walk after, or according to the
Spirit.
So far as our mortal bodies are concerned we
cannot walk up to the Spirit's requirements, but our
minds can walk according to the Spirit; our intentions
can be perfect; and what our Heavenly Father seeks in
us is perfection of intention and as perfect control of
our flesh as possible. Z'11-340 R4869:5 (Hymn 267)
