Verse 24. The regenerating soul must rise above these external motives and fallacies, and continue its heavenward journey, and pass into a state which will bring it into conflict with its more interior evils; and it perceives that the Lord will give it power to overcome the evils of self-love, the chief evil of the soul that opposes regeneration, and that the regenerate will will be supreme in the external mind now occupied by the love of self, and that it is the duty of those regenerating to drive out these evils and strive against them strenuously.
