The Christian Life - Pt 3
The Apostle Paul often related “spiritual truth’s” using Military terminology.
Cold lake has a large Military presence—-so we should be able to relate when the Bible uses Military Analogies.
Apostle Paul said...
1 Tim 6:12
Fight the good fight of faith, ....
2 Tim 2:3-4
You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier.
Enlisted = to be enrolled in the armed services
The Christian life—- is not always going to be easy
There are “many enemies” to your walk of Faith
To Walk in all God has Planned —- You Will Have to FIGHT!
GOD is saying that Living for Him... is NOT going to be EASY!
NOT EASY—- sometimes you will have to PUSH THRU PAIN
Warfare is a major part of Life
Victory in our lives —-is obtained through battle... a fight
Maturity comes through PRESSING THROUGH your feelings
Eg. I don’t feel like __________
Ps 18:29 amp
