in Scripture is used of earnest tare of saints (Col. 2:1), and of the Christian fight and race (Phil. 1.30; Heb. 12:1, &c.). What is often called “Christian conflict” however, means passing through such experiences as Paul relates in Rom. 7. These, however common before the soul has settled peace with God, are not the traits of true Christian conflict. This is never internal, or with the flesh, against which I am not told to fight, but to reckon myself dead. Conflict is with evil in every form, and the way of fighting is detailed in Eph. 6. The so-called conflict of many is largely caused by unbelief of the finished work and complete victory of Christ.
