Watchman Nee on “The Victorious Life”

Posted by Chris

From Not I, But Christ by Watchman Nee:
"I have said this for many years, and I will say it again: the basic aim of temptation is not so much to get us to sin as to get our old man to act. Temptation lies in tempting our old man to resist. If the old man can rise up to resist temptation, he can also rise up to commit sin. So whenever temptation comes, we must refuse to move. "Lord, this is Your business, not mine. Lord, I look to You, for You live for me." It is thus you learn to trust the Lord to live in you."
