This collection of articles from E. J. Waggoner span about 10 years, but are all united in the common theme of Christ as our life.
Since the fall, every human is born into the world with a corrupt spiritual nature: the carnal mind. This nature is under the condemnation of the law, because it is sinful. From this nature flow all the sinful and selfish acts which appear in the life. Any person with this nature in them is considered “dead” in the sight of heaven. Every “good deed” performed while this nature is within is polluted with self and unacceptable to God.
It is for this reason that Christ married himself into humanity, in order to bring a new spiritual life to man. When the old nature is exchanged for this new life, all the power and victory that Christ developed warring against sin in His life on earth, is inherited by the recipient. When he has the life of Christ, he has the victory of Christ; he is enabled to follow Christ in thought and action, and has the qualification to enter heaven, after the resurrection of the body.
In these articles, Waggoner dwells upon the richness of this Bible truth, and some of the beautiful consequences that flow from it. 166p
