Since this life is God's and cannot die, it follows that everyone born anew into possessing this life is said to have eternal life.

Prayer is work. The experiences of many children of God demonstrate that it accomplishes far more than does any other form of work. It is also warfare, for it is one of the weapons in fighting the enemy. However, only prayer in the spirit is genuinely effectual.

How often laziness and emotional distaste for work join to employ physical fatigue as a cover-up.

The note of hallelujah must never be in short supply in the spirit of the believer.
