Summary of the book:

God the Holy Spirit vs. The Sin Nature is a ceaseless inner conflict. Each Christian by his own volition determines who controls his life at any given moment. The sin nature is inherent at birth. As long as we live we retain this genetic distorter of our lives, with the result that we cannot fulfill the plan of God. Yet God's marvelous plan can be fulfilled. Only the invisible ministry of God the Holy Spirit can execute the Christian way of life.

This book tells the dramatic story of Elijah in 1 Kings 19. After a powerful spiritual victory, he flees in terror because of an empty threat against his life. The spiritual hero becomes totally ineffective. This Old Testament prophet vividly illustrates a principle that applies to every New Testament believer. There is a vast difference between living under the control of the sin nature and leading a life of spiritual dynamics under the control of the Holy Spirit.

本文摘要:

圣靈与罪性的对抗是一种无休止的内心冲突。每个基督徒都可以根据自己的意愿决定在任何特定时刻由谁来控制他的生活。罪性是与生俱来的。只要我们活着，我们就会保留这种扭曲我们生活的基因，结果我们无法实现神的计划。然而，神奇妙的计划是可以实现的。只有圣灵无形的事工才能执行基督徒的生活方式。

这本书讲述了列王纪上 19 章中伊莱贾的戏剧性故事。在一次强大的属灵胜利之后，他因为生命受到空洞的威胁而惊恐地逃跑。属灵英雄变得完全无效。这位旧约先知生动地说明了适用于每一个新约信徒的原则。在罪性的控制下生活和在圣灵的控制下过着属灵动力的生活有很大的不同。
