2 Corinthians 10: 3-4

 

³For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. ⁴The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.

 

Paul was really referring to himself here, yet he uses “we” as an act of humility. This gives us a picture of how we should strive to live; with the meekness and gentleness of Christ. We do not fight a worldly fight. We fight on the spiritual plane. Our battle is not against sin, and the devil, as much as it is about fighting for our salvation, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. While the weapons of this world can destroy buildings, our weapons can bring down the strongholds of the walls around hearts. The weapons we wield, which are the Word of God, the righteousness of salvation, and the Truth that is Jesus Christ; these weapons can penetrate where no worldly weapon can go. Wars are waged for treasure, and resources, our war is waged for the one true thing that matters, the salvation of souls! We are all called to arms, the battle flags are flying, and the war drums are counting time. Do not be caught in the rear with the gear. Make your way to the forefront of this spiritual battlefield. This is the battle worth fighting, this is the truth worth spreading, and this is the war that must be won! Suit up for battle today, be a spiritual warrior on the battlefield of Life….not the life that ends with death, but the life that is granted through Christ, the life everlasting!

 

Peace,
