It began over 10,000 years ago and it is still going on now. The fight is on! What fight? You may ask. The fight of your life. The fight for your attention. The fight for your heart, your allegiance, your will. For too long, our hope has been placed in temporary things. It's about time we open up our eyes to the obvious sin that's been going on inside and around us. Take a stand against evil and join the fight for good! There's good news! The battle has been won. Jesus stepped in and saved mankind from the grips of hell by sacrificing his life as a payment offering for all our evil doings. You are not alone. Jesus is with you in the middle of life's biggest battles. Don't let your soul and will get pushed around by sin; there's no promise or peace in the kingdom of darkness. There's a better kingdom at hand. One that will last forever and ever: The kingdom of God. His kingdom come. His will be done in earth, as it is in heaven (Matthew 6:10). When you become a good fighter you have hope and a purpose in this life and an important role in the afterlife in heaven. What does a good fighter look like? A good fighter is always wearing the full armor of God. So stand firm. Put the belt of truth around your waist. Put the armor of godliness on your chest. Wear on your feet what will prepare you to tell the good news of peace. Also, pick up the shield of faith. With it you can put out all of the flaming arrows of the evil one. Put on the helmet of salvation. And take the sword of the Holy Spirit. The sword is God's word (Ephesians 6:14-17). Remember, the battle has been won for you, just keep fighting the good fight of faith and you will celebrate in the victory; here on earth and in heaven!
