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:

聖靈與罪性的對抗是一種無休止的內心衝突。每個基督徒都可以根據自己的意願決定在任何特定時刻由誰來控制他的生活。罪性是與生俱來的。只要我們活著，我們就會保留這種扭曲我們生活的基因，結果我們無法實現神的計劃。然而，神奇妙的計劃是可以實現的。只有聖靈無形的事工才能執行基督徒的生活方式。

這本書講述了列王紀上 19 章中以利亞的戲劇性故事。在一次強大的屬靈勝利之後，他因為生命受到空洞的威脅而驚恐地逃跑。屬靈英雄變得完全無效。這位舊約先知生動地說明了適用於每一個新約信徒的原則。在罪性的控制下生活和在聖靈的控制下過著屬靈動力的生活有很大的不同。
