Everyday I hear people say that they are Christians and their life doesn't show it. As Christians we don't need to get saved just so we can go to Heaven, but we need to get out of our comfort zone and put on the Armor of God so that we can fight in this spiritual war. Lots of people think that as long as I believe in God I'll be fine so I don't have to do anything, but if you are really a believer, then you will want to do something for Christ. Think about that, if you don't have a desire to doing something for Christ you might not know Him as your personal Savior. This life is not suppose to get comfortable, it's a battlefield to win as many souls to Christ as possible and give God all the Glory. In Numbers chapters 13-15 there is a story about Gods people who had to wonder in a wilderness for forty years because they didn't want to take the land that God was going to give them, they feared man more than God. They didn't trust God with their lives, so they were not able to enter the land which God had promised them. Same with us, this world is our wilderness that we have to wonder in because we have sinned and Heaven is the promise land which God has promise to those who believe in him and trust him. We have to fight for the one who gave us life and who sent his son to die for our sins, so that we could have eternal life with God forever, like it says in John 3:16. This should make us want to serve God 24-7, but sin can get in the way that's why this is a battlefield whether you believe it or not, so lets take up our Crosses and fight for the one who gives us breath.

To God be the Glory!

  1. I get such encouragement when I realize you're preparing for battle, not that going into battle is something to be longed for, but it is the reality for Christians.
