The remedy against all sin is Christ. As Ulysses, in the Odyssey, was safe from the enchantments of Circe, because of a certain herb which he possessed; so those who have Christ, and whom Christ has, possess an antidote against all inconsistencies.
1. The Meekness of Christ shall save from intemperance in dress, as His Word is followed (1Pe 3:3-5).
2. The Love of Christ shall save from evil habit, as that love fills the being by obedience (Luk 7:47; Jhn 14:21).
3. The Power of Christ shall save from stumbling into the snares of sin, as we trust in Him (Jud 1:24, R.V.).
4. The Spirit of Christ shall save from failure, as we are filled with Him, through waiting upon Him (Act 4:33).
5. The Holiness of Christ shall save from unlikeness to Christ, as we abide in Him (Jhn 15:5).
6. The Zeal of Christ shall save from laziness in the Lord's service, as we are fired by Him (1Cr 15:58).
7. The Coming of Christ shall save us from discouragement, as we are looking for Him (Jam 5:7).
