This is war, people! What made you think this would be easy? We are in a battle – not just for our lives, but also for the lives of everyone around us. Remember, the devil and his ilk are still out there.
Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. (1 Peter 5:8)
Some people seem to think that they get baptized and then the fight is over – on the contrary, that is when it really begins! Think about it – when you were lost, the only job was to keep you lost. Once you are found, it takes a much harder effort to turn you back away from the light!
Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm. (Ephesians 6:13)
Let us all fight the good fight, and as we are nearing the end of our time in this earthly life, may we be able to say with confidence:
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful. And now the prize awaits me—the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on the day of his return. And the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to his appearing. (2 Timothy 4:7-8)
