항상 말씀으로 무장합시다
토마스 맨튼
말씀으로 준비되어 있으면 유혹을 받을 때 큰 도움이 됩니다. 말씀은 “성령의 검”이라고 불립니다(엡
“청년들아 내가 너희에게 쓴 것은 너희가 강하기 때문이니,”그들의 힘은 어디에 있습니까? “이는 하나님의 말씀이 너희 안에 거하시며 너희가 흉악한 자를 이기었음이라”(요일
It is a great relief against temptations to have the word ready. The word is called, “The sword of the Spirit,”Eph. vi. 17. In spiritual conflicts there is none like to that. Those that ride abroad in time of danger, will not be without a sword. We are in danger, and had need handle to sword of the Spirit. The more ready the Scripture is with us, the greater advantage in our conflicts and temptations. When the devil came to assault Christ, he had Scripture ready for him, whereby he overcame the tempter. The door is barred upon Satan, and he cannot find such easy entrance when the word is hid in our hearts, and made use of pertinently.
“I write unto you, young men, because ye are strong.”Where lies their strength? “And the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.”1 John ii. 14. Oh, it is a great advantage when we have the word not only by us, but in us, engrafted in the heart; when it is present with us, we are more able to resist the assaults of Satan. Either a man forgets the word, or hath lost his affection to it, before he can be drawn to sin.
