Section 2—The Conflict with Sin
[50]
The example of Christ shows us that our only hope of victory is in
continual resistance of Satan’s attacks. He who triumphed over the
adversary of souls in the conflict of temptations understands Satan’s
power over the race, and has conquered him in our behalf. As an
overcomer, He has given us the advantage of His victory, that in our
efforts to resist the temptations of Satan we may unite our weakness to
His strength, our worthlessness to His merits. And sustained by His
enduring might under the strength of temptation, we may resist in His
all-powerful name, and overcome as He overcame.—
