God Enables Us to Overcome Evil Through the Love He Bestows on Us ㅡ
“Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;” (1 Corinthians 13:5)
The servants of Christ are not to act out the dictates of the natural heart.
They need to have close communion with God, lest, under provocation, self rise up, and they pour forth a torrent of words that are unbefitting, that are not as dew or the still showers that refresh the withering plants.
This is what Satan wants them to do; for these are his methods. It is the dragon that is wroth; it is the spirit of Satan that is revealed in anger and accusing.
But God’s servants are to be representatives of Him.
He desires them to deal only in the currency of heaven, the truth that bears His own image and superscription.
The power by which they are to overcome evil is the power of Christ.
The glory of Christ is their strength. They are to fix their eyes upon His loveliness.
Then they can present the gospel with divine tact and gentleness.
And the spirit that is kept gentle under provocation will speak more effectively in favor of the truth than will any argument, however forcible.
Let them rest in the love of God, and the spirit will be kept calm, even under personal abuse.
The Lord will clothe them with a divine panoply.
His Holy Spirit will influence the mind and heart, so that their voices shall not catch the notes of the baying of the wolves.
