BRIEF ANALYSIS OF LESSON
I. The Need of the Hour.-Ns. 10, IL.
II we notice the structure of the main
body of this letter, we shall find that it
consists Of two great divisions. The first
three chapters are doctrinal. laying
down great principles and truths; the
last three chapters are full of practical
precepts for daily life. The standard
and aim is given 4:13: "A perfect man
unto the measure of the stature of the
fulness of Christ" Details of the pic
ture are given with fulness. The Chris
tian must be loving. humble. a new
man. truthful. honest, unselfish. tender
hearted, full Of the fruits of the Spirit.
Astounding in home virtues. free from
uncleanness, covetousness, bitterness,
evil speaking, pride.
TO- FINALLY, be strong in the Lord"
This strength must be the internal
strengthening principle in you. The
strength that alone is stronger than
the world is strength from above,
strength in the Lord. 1t comes by faith,
faith that takes hold upon the un-
seen. that communes with Heaven. that
leans upon the eternal promises, that
eudures as seeing Him who is invis-
ible"
II. The Enemy to BE Overcome.-vs.
II, IL. II. The wiles:" The strata
gems, plausible DISCUSSES. the crafty
plans. The plural marks both the null
tiplicity of the concrete cases. and the
obstinacy of the repeated attack "Of
the devil" Satan, the great adversary
Of God and man. It is always danger
GUS 10 underrate an enemy
-. For we wrestler" The contest,
in its essence, is a single-handed strug-
gle in wrestling, in which each for him
self is attacked. Not against flesh and
blood" 1t is n spiritual warfare on the
battle field of the heart. But against
principalities against powers:" The
word is used TO express the united. con-
trolling, mighty influences against
which the Christian has to contend.
The customs, and habits. and fashions
Of evil, worldliness, selfishness. ungodli-
ness, lust. hate, expressions. every form
OF pervasive evil used by the princes
Of darkness. THE rulers of the dark
ness of this world" Properly the
world-rulers of this darkness.
