Studies in Philippians Rejoicing in Spiritual Battle

THREE THINGS WE MUST REMEMBER ABOUT THE CONFLICT

What are we fighting for! The faith of the gospel refers to what has been revealed by the Holy Spirit through the apostles and prophets of Jesus Christ. We need to make sure that we do our own thinking, making our own independent investigation, and verifying that it is the gospel that we are defending and promoting, and not man-made doctrine.

Who are we fighting against!. “your opponents” (Satan and all his ministers). Satan’s “ministers” include not only so- called “men of God” in religious garb but also be politicians competing for your vote, entertainers on stages, professors in classrooms, or actors on the big screen.

The costs of the conflict! The battleground upon which we fight has also been hallowed by blood. Only when we have fully comprehended the costs already paid will we find the motivation to value truth as we should.

THREE THINGS WE NEED TO BE VICTORIOUS

We need a consistent lifestyle! “Let you manner of life be worthy of the gospel”. One of the most powerful weapons against error is not on the debate platform or in the pulpit; but in the lives of the those who love the Lord and who demonstrate day by day the complete superiority of God's truth over the lies of Satan!

We need a cooperative spirit “in one spirit, with one mind striving together” God's people must fight the enemy in unity. There must be a single-minded commitment that all us will get to heaven together!

We need a courageous assurance. “In no way alarmed by your adversaries” We live in a world where most people live by different values. It is easy to be intimidated by their numbers, or their criticism. Keep your courage and find assurance and consolation in what Paul says.

As we then fight the good fight of faith, we must work hard. We may shed tears over those who are defeated by sin. We may suffer from the hurt of those who wrong us. But however painful, in all of it we can rejoice that we are fighting for the only thing that really matters, that we are citizens of another kingdom to which we hope at last to arrive. Let us rejoice even in the battle for truth.
