Christian Liberty

by Arthur W. Pink

In the opening article of this series, (“The Law and the Saint”) we affirmed that the unregenerate sinner is, in heart and practise, an Antinomian; that is, one who is opposed to the Law of God. Proof of this is furnished by Rom. 8:7, which tells us, “The carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the Law of God, neither indeed can be.” It needs to be remembered that the “carnal mind” still remains in the believer. It is true that the Christian has a new mind (2 Tim. 1:7), which is part of the new nature—a mind which “serves the Law of God” (Rom. 7:25); and it is this, alone, that explains the conflict waged daily within every saint. But the presence of the carnal mind within, reveals the urgent need there is for the “casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ” (2 Cor. 10:5). This can be accomplished only as the believer yields his members (not only the members of his body, but every “member” of his complex personality) “servants to righteousness unto holiness” (Rom. 6:19).. …..Go here to continue reading.
