The War

In the arena of life, it has been said: winner's never quit, and quitter's never win. So fight on, and “war a good warfare;” knowing that “the battle is not yours, but the Lord's.”

[1 Tim 1:18; 2 Chr 20:15]

You see, we do not volunteer or choose to join the Lord's army; we are “the elect ...whom He has chosen,” enlisted, conscripted, with a “calling” that is “without repentance;” to be the “witness of faith” to an unbelieving world.

[Jn 15:16; Mk 13:20; Rom 11:29]

So what if “some do not believe? Shall it make the faith of God of none effect? God forbid!” For He is able to use His “witness” to overcome every fiery dart that comes our way.

[Rom 3, 4a]

There is something about the Spirit of God within that compels/urges/provokes us to forge ahead and “fight the good fight of faith, and (be apprehended of) eternal life.”

[1 Tim 6:12; Phil 3:12]

In the words of a song: There's a WAR going on; and if you wanta win; you've got to have Jesus (by His Spirit) living within.
