That "Silver Scepter"

In the name of the Lord I will destroy them.
  Psalm 118:12
"Our Lord Jesus, by His death,
did not purchase a right to a part of us only,
but to the entire man.
 
He contemplated in His passion the sanctification of us wholly, spirit, soul, and body; that in this triple kingdom He Himself might
reign supreme without a rival.
 
..... thou must subdue all thy powers and passions to the silver scepter of Jesus' gracious reign, .... Seeing, then, that sin has no right to any part of us, we go about a good and lawful warfare when we seek, in the name of God, to drive it out."
Charles Spurgeon
