All in Defending our Faith

Do we feel that we are being threatened because of our faith today? Are we treated as though our beliefs are weak and harmless, without danger to those who rule and practice worldly sinfulness with impunity, or perhaps we are placated by those who simply pretend to be friends of Jesus? Strong enemies are confronted carefully in battle by their opponent’s strengths, while subtle enemies must be overcome by discernment. So where do we stand as believers, and where does the Church stand today... not just within the world, but on the spiritual battlefields of righteousness? Are we hell-bent to enforce God’s perfect spiritual law in man’s fallen worldly courts?

Even in countries that are predominately Christian we are called to defend Jesus Christ, and our faith in Him. When we talk about the act of defending it can be accomplished in many ways like witnessing about our belief, telling of the miraculous nature of Christ, defending in argument the presence of God, and thus establishing the Sonship of Christ, revealing that He has redeemed us, defending His righteousness, and making convincing argument that He is perfect and free of sin while speaking of His love, suffering, and sacrifice for us. The challenging questions are these… are we ready to defend Him, and do we take every opportunity to do so?
