There is a first-aid kit! (Tozer for Tuesday)

I believe there is such a thing as being cleansed from sin, walking in the Spirit and not fulfilling the lust of the flesh. And I believe that it is entirely within the right of any Christian to go to God and demand that God make him holy and keep him from sin. Of course, he may stumble. If he stumbles, there is a first-aid kit. “My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not.” That is the will of God, number one. “And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father” (1 John 2:1). That is the first-aid kit. The Lord does not let His stumbling children die. He picks them up, dusts them off, binds up their wounds and starts them all anew.—A.W. Tozer, Reclaiming Christianity, 217
