a few inches and then stopped, because the air held it down. The water was fighting against the air, but the air was also fighting against the water, so that it could not do what it otherwise would. And the passengers did nothing but accept and enjoy the victory of the air over the water.

Thus it is with every Christian who turns everything over to his Lord. The life of the risen and indwelling Christ makes constant conquest over the flesh, and as long as the activity of the flesh is nullified by the life of Christ within us, neither the world nor Satan has any entrance into our lives, and therefore no power over them.

This means that we are free for service. And so nothing the enemy can do can hinder us from a life of soul-winning.

Christ’s Radiant Love Overflows

When we are set free for service, we are in the place where all effective witnessing for Christ is done. Our lives will furnish the indispensable background for our testimony, and our testimony will be “in demonstration of the Spirit and of power” (I Corinthians 2:4). When the enemy loses his control over our lives, we can witness with great persuasiveness to those whom the enemy is holding captive at his will. For the doctrine of the cross becomes surpassingly persuasive when illustrated by crucified lives, and the truth of the resurrection becomes gloriously triumphant through those who are transfigured by the risen life in Christ.
