Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts
which war against the soul. 1 Peter 2:11
If my citizenship is in heaven, then I am a sojourner
and a pilgrim on earth. If I am a pilgrim, the fleshly lusts of the world war
against my soul.
As long as I am a sojourner, and have not reached the
city of which I am a citizen, I have a battle to fight.
Fleshly lusts should be fought immediately; even a
little delay leads to defeat, I have to fight intensely; compromise leads to defeat,
I have to fight constantly; the truce leads
to defeat.
I am a stranger to this world, a pilgrim, so I want to
fight with all my might against the fleshly lusts.
