“Life without war is impossible either in nature or in grace. The basis of physical, mental, moral, and spiritual life is antagonism. This is the open fact of life.” — Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest
Enmity is inescapable.
Life is the word we use to describe the state of conflict between forces that keep you alive and those that try to kill you. Surrender, in this case, is death. A ceasefire is to be deceased.
Galatians 5:17
For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other:
So, keep fighting the good fight of faith and strive toward the upward calling of Christ while resisting the downward pull of the world, the flesh, and the devil.
Genesis 3:15
And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
God has called you to fight the seed of the serpent. He has enlisted you to march with the seed of Eve.
Romans 5:7
The carnal mind is enmity against God.
So, don't be surprised when the seed of the serpent strikes back.
Tread carefully, but tread Christfully.
Romans 16:20
And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
The Church Militant marches on.
