“Shadows are a danger to us all. The apostle Paul describes the tendency among believers, all of whom begin in the Spirit, to attempt to live the Christian life in the energy of their flesh. We retreat to the shadows of legalism or traditions or intellectualism or programs or methods. We trust in material resources rather than spiritual. We must become convinced that we are complete in Jesus, having all we need for life and godly living. It is our uncertainty about this that makes the shadows so appealing.“
