Life-Changing
The first third of the book deals with understanding our soul, spirit, and body, how they influence each other, and how God, the Devil, and our flesh strive to win control of each part. The middle portion focuses on the fruit of the Spirit and the flesh’s self-righteous alternatives. The final portion brings it all together and emphasizes our need for a personal relationship with God and the tools to develop that walk.
This is life-changing for the Christian. Most Christians are striving to live righteously in their own strength rather than yield to the Spirit’s control. We believe we have to earn our sanctification. Rather than go through the ups and downs of our own efforts and weariness, the Lord offers us the abundant life.
