VIGILANCE

警戒

The permanent presence of the old nature guarantees that in the Christian life there is no victory without vigilance.

基督徒生命中恆久存在的老我明證沒有警戒就無法得勝。

Many a saint, for want of keeping a tight rein, and that constantly, over some corruption which they have thought they had got the mastery of, has been thrown out of the saddle.
