Most of the saints hold that man is sovereign in the realm of his will and that God is forced to accept his choice. This is no girdle at all. It gives no strength to meet the powers of darkness. It is weakness. The sovereignty of God, however, is strengthening.
Truth is one.
We should be clear on all truth. Strength to stand depends much upon our knowledge of the celestial allotment we are defending. Few of the Lord's soldiers know where to stand. They hardly realize that they have aught to defend. Hence few are fixed.
