The Believer`s Weapons in Christ.
The Lord Jesus Christ is the Mighty Conqueror. He has overcome sin, death, hell, the devil, and the world system. Now as Head of the Body, He leads us in triumph as He enables us to overcome also.
`Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, …` (2 Cor. 2: 14)
Throughout our journey in life, we face many trials, temptations, and tribulations. But in them all as we look to the Lord, He takes us through.
`In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I (Jesus) have overcome the world (system). ` (John 16: 33)
We are warned to not love the world system or the things of it.
`Do not love the world (system) or the things in the world (system)…..the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life…..And the world (system) is passing away, and the lust of it; …` (1 John 2: 16 7 17)
Then we are encouraged that God has given divine weapons to defeat the enemy and his strategies – the Word of God and the Blood of Jesus.
`For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,..` (2 Cor. 10: 3 – 5)
The Word of God.
`the word of God is living and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.` (Heb. 4: 12)
The Blood of Jesus.
`Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus.` (Heb. 10: 19)
Through the blood of Jesus, we can enter God`s presence receiving forgiveness and protection from the evil one. And the Word of God, the truth overcomes the lies and false teachings of the enemy.
