Note 13 — HOLY IN CHRIST.

So near, so very near to God, I cannot nearer be; For in the person of His Son, I am as near as He.

14 ‘Christ suffered, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened in the Spirit.’ ‘Forasmuch then as Christ suffered in the flesh, arm ye yourselves also with the same mind.’ The flesh and the Spirit are antagonistic: as the flesh dies, the Spirit lives.
