Dear friends,
Here’s something more for 2 Corinthians 7:1 thought and prayer. In Matthew Henry’s (1662–1714) Commentary on the Whole Bible, it says this about defending ourselves:
To be engaged against sin is to fight in a good cause, for sin is the worst enemy both to God and man. Our spiritual warfare is both honorable and necessary; for we are only defending ourselves against that which would destroy us, if it should get the victory over us.
