Our Weapons For War!
"For though we live in the world,
we do not wage war as the
world does."
2 Corinthians 10: 3
The Bible declares things that
are not obvious—
like mankind being created in the image of God
(Genesis 1:26-27). It also assumes that we're in
a war. It is obvious that we
do not currently live
in a world where peace is the norm.
When Paul wrote to the Corinthians, he did not
reveal that they were in a war. He assumed they
knew that. Instead, he told them how to go about
waging war.
Though they were in the world and Paul
was in the world, he didn't battle them with
worldly weapons (2 Corinthians 10:3-5).
He battled with spiritual weapons, the fullest
description of which
is in Ephesians 6:10-18:
truth, righteousness, Gospel of peace, faith,
salvation, and Word of God. These are not
weapons of the world but of the Kingdom of
God.
You are in a spiritual war in this world.
Arm
yourself with armor and weapons
that will ensure your victory, The Word.
"Lies and false reports are
among Satan’s choicest
weapons."
