Victory Through Christ
265. Christ fought the battle upon the point of appetite, and came
off victorious; and we also can conquer through strength derived from
Him. Who will enter in through the gates into the city?—Not those
[170]
who declare that they cannot break the force of appetite. Christ has
resisted the power of him who would hold us in bondage; though
weakened by His long fast of forty days, He withstood temptation,
and proved by this act that our cases are not hopeless. I know that we
cannot obtain the victory alone; and how thankful we should be that we
have a living Saviour, who is ready and willing to aid us!—

266. A pure and noble life, a life of victory over appetite and lust,
is possible to every one who will unite his weak, wavering human will
to the omnipotent, unwavering will of God.—
