God’s Family and Readied for Battle
We do not have to try to fulfil things ourselves, Jesus will do that for us. You aren’t saved because of what you do but because of what God has done in and for you. When you see people living without Jesus, you can see that they have no hope. They don’t realize that Jesus paid the price for their sin, and that He wants them to live in eternity with Him in heaven.
When we believe in Jesus, we become members of God’s family, an eternal family. God’s family accomplishes a lot because we are a family, not because we do things out of a selfish heart.
Ask yourself, are you readied for battle? Have you cleaned your armor and your weapons? We fight a spiritual fight daily, and we must put on our armor and be ready to fight the enemy with the Word of God. We need to be trained to use our weapons and armor skillfully to defeat the temptations and wiles of the enemy.
