{"author":null,"backreferences":[{"context_html":"<p>Nevertheless, in the \"heavy yoke that is laid upon the\r\nsons of Adam, from the day that they go out of their mother's\r\nwomb to the day that they return to the mother of all things,\"\r\nthere is found an admirable though painful monitor teaching\r\nus to be sober-minded, and convincing us that this life has\r\nbecome penal in consequence of that outrageous wickedness\r\nwhich was perpetrated in Paradise, and that all to which the\r\nNew Testament invites belongs to that future inheritance\r\nwhich awaits us in the world to come, and is offered for our\r\nacceptance, as the earnest that we may, in its own due time,\r\nobtain that of which it is the pledge. Now, therefore, let us\r\nwalk in hope, and let us by the spirit mortify the deeds of\r\nthe flesh, and so make progress from day to day. For \"the\r\nLord knoweth them that are His;\"<a id=\"FNanchor_883_883\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_883_883\">[883]</a> and \"as many as are\r\nled by the Spirit of God, they are sons of God,\"<a id=\"FNanchor_884_884\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_884_884\">[884]</a> but by grace,\r\nnot by nature. For there is but one Son of God by nature,\r\nwho in His compassion became Son of man for our sakes, that\r\nwe, by nature sons of men, might by grace become through\r\nHim sons of God. For He, abiding unchangeable, took upon\r\nHim our nature, that thereby He might take us to Himself;\r\nand, holding fast His own divinity, He became partaker of\r\nour infirmity, that we, being changed into some better thing,\r\nmight, by participating in His righteousness and immortality,<span class=\"pagenum\"><a id=\"Page_442\">[Pg 442]</a></span>\r\nlose our own properties of sin and mortality, and\r\npreserve whatever good quality He had implanted in our\r\nnature, perfected now by sharing in the goodness of His\r\nnature. For as by the sin of one man we have fallen\r\ninto a misery so deplorable, so by the righteousness of one\r\nMan, who also is God, shall we come to a blessedness inconceivably\r\nexalted. Nor ought any one to trust that he has\r\npassed from the one man to the other until he shall have reached\r\nthat place where there is no temptation, and have entered\r\ninto the peace which he seeks in the many and various conflicts\r\nof this war, in which \"the flesh lusteth against the\r\nspirit, and the spirit against the flesh.\"<a id=\"FNanchor_885_885\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_885_885\">[885]</a> Now, such a war as\r\nthis would have had no existence, if human nature had, in\r\nthe exercise of free will, continued stedfast in the uprightness\r\nin which it was created. But now in its misery it\r\nmakes war upon itself, because in its blessedness it would not\r\ncontinue at peace with God; and this, though it be a miserable\r\ncalamity, is better than the earlier stages of this life,\r\nwhich do not recognise that a war is to be maintained. For\r\nbetter is it to contend with vices than without conflict to be\r\nsubdued by them. Better, I say, is war with the hope of\r\npeace everlasting than captivity without any thought of deliverance.\r\nWe long, indeed, for the cessation of this war, and,\r\nkindled by the flame of divine love, we burn for entrance on\r\nthat well-ordered peace in which whatever is inferior is for\r\never subordinated to what is above it. But if (which God\r\nforbid) there had been no hope of so blessed a consummation,\r\nwe should still have preferred to endure the hardness of this\r\nconflict, rather than, by our non-resistance, to yield ourselves\r\nto the dominion of vice.</p>","headings":["THE CITY OF GOD.","BOOK TWENTY-FIRST.","ARGUMENT."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg45305-paragraph-697"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"377bc6a911170e35c05d2037c6e362139d042e1848d2ce715787f43961f58789","edition_title":"The City of God, Volume II","edition_translators":["Marcus Dods","George Wilson (Books XVII-XVIII)"],"edition_year":1871,"explicit_reference_candidates":[{"book":"2TI","chapter":2,"kind":"unreviewed","source_notation":"2 Tim. ii. 19","verse":19,"verse_end":19}],"headings":[],"id":"pg45305-Footnote_883_883","license_url":"https://www.gutenberg.org/policy/license.html","public_import_allowed":false,"record_kind":"original-editor-translator-note","review_required":["work and recension attribution","original-work chronology","Bible reference numbering and citation kind","English edition rights and attribution"],"review_status":"needs_review","rights_evidence":"Provider catalog reports public domain in the USA.
