Genesis 3:15
I will put enmity between you and the woman,
and between your offspring and her offspring;
He shall bruise your head,
and you shall bruise His heel.
Christ is inescapable. You will either worship Him or be at war with Him, but you cannot avoid Him. There is no skirting Him. There are no Christ dodgers. Everything is caught up into Him and must reckon with Him one way or the other.
1 Corinthians 15:27-28
For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him. And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
Enmity is thus an inescapable reality. God has placed enmity between the seed of Eve, His Son, Jesus Christ and the seed of the serpent and all things. like the skull of the snake, will end up under His feet. Some will volunteer while others will be forced under. But either way, you were born into this war and you will have to enlist. There are no spectators. Everyone gets fitted out for one of two uniforms.
“But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes
Indeed you're gonna have to serve somebody
Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody”
- Bob Dylan, Gotta Serve Somebody
You cannot opt out or unsubscribe. You're going to have to serve somebody.
