Spiritual Battle
Ephesians 6:12
The Upward Look
by Max D. Hutto,
“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.” Ephesians 6:12 NASB
Believers are in the midst of a spiritual battle. While the forces of evil use people to spout their wicked and vile hatred of God and all that stand with Him, this fight is not against other people, flesh and blood. Believers must be mindful that God loves all people and desires them to come to a saving personal relationship under the Lordship of Christ. However people without Christ will face the judgment meant for the spiritual forces of darkness, wickedness, and evil.
Lord Jesus, help me to tell others that the only hope for people caught up in the snares of evil is repentance of sin and complete trust in the redeeming grace found in Christ.
