The "Now but Not Yet" of the Faith
"After all that God has done by sending His Son, and the Son by sending the Holy Spirit, it is only with difficulty, exceeding difficulty, that the work of saving the righteous advances to its consummation. The entrance into the kingdom lies through much tribulation - through fightings without and fears within - through the world’s seductions, and its frowns - through the utter weakness and continual failures of the flesh, and the many fiery darts of Satan."

John Lillie
