The Believer’s Mistake 617
God’s will and compels him to act like a machine devoid of thought
or decision.
Today many of God’s children have fallen unknowingly into
passivity: their will and mind cease to function; hence they
experience untold sufferings. All simply happens according to law.
Just as there is a law to everything in the natural realm, so is there
also a law to everything in the spiritual realm: certain actions
produce certain results. God Who establishes these laws is Himself
law-abiding. Whoever violates one of these laws, willfully or
unintentionally, must reap the corresponding consequence. But if
man exercises his will, mind and strength to cooperate with God, His
Spirit will then work, for this too is a law.
