Study Notes
True Temperance Effort
- Real success in helping the tempted and fallen is achieved when Christ reshapes their character, bringing them into a living connection with God.
- The goal of true temperance effort is to bring about a reformation in the heart, not just a change in circumstances.
Christ's Work in the Heart
- Men will never be truly temperate until the grace of Christ becomes an abiding principle in their heart.
- Christianity aims to reform the heart, not just external behavior.
- External efforts at reform will always fail, but Christ's work from within will lead to true reform.
Self-Control and the Body
- The loss of self-control was a devastating result of the original apostasy.
- Regaining self-control is essential for real progress and character development.
- The body is the medium through which the mind and soul are developed, so it must be brought under the control of the higher powers of the being.
- The adversary of souls targets the physical powers to enfeeble and degrade them, leading to surrender to evil.
The Power of Reason and Will
- The passions must be controlled by the will, which is itself under the control of God.
- The kingly power of reason, sanctified by divine grace, must rule in our lives.
Futility of Gradual Reform
- Attempts to stop unhealthy practices gradually will fail, and Satan will laugh at such decisions.
- True reform requires planting one's feet firmly on principle, determined not to engage in harmful practices like drinking or smoking.
- Moral courage to say "No" squarely and positively is essential for true reform.
God's Help in the Battle
- Giving up unhealthy habits like tobacco and intoxicating liquor will be a hard battle, but God will help.
- Asking for grace to overcome and believing in God's help is essential.
- One must prioritize allegiance to Christ and seek heavenly treasure, rather than being drawn away by worldly companions.
