A Christian is called to a combat with the world, the flesh and the devil. The secret to victory is our faith in God.
It means making a commitment, facing combat, and receiving commendation. The Christian life is compared with the experience of being a soldier in the service of the Lord.
Ephesians 6:10-18. We are at war. There is an enemy facing us with whom we have to do battle. We have to wrestle. There’s a war on – to take over your way of thinking, through education, through influences like who we mix with, what the media says to us… We see it in our world’s philosophy and culture. The secret of victory over Satan’s temptations is knowing that Christ lives in us and trusting Him to give us the victory.
Ephesians 6:10-20. Be strong. Stand. It’s time for spiritual combat. How desperately we need to be armed with the Spiritual Armour for the battles that lie ahead!
