Stand Firm: Gospel Readiness

Are you ready for the spiritual battle that you’re engaged in? The next piece of the armor speaks to our preparedness. Picture yourself on the battlefield, sword drawn, shield up, waiting for the commander to yell, “charge.” Are you ready? Can you charge? Can you push forward against the enemy?

If you’re rooted in the gospel of peace, the answer is, “yes.” The gospel, functions like a soldier's shoes. Picture Chacos with cleat style spikes that hold you firm in the ground and give you the added advantage of stability. As the battle is joined, your line stands firm against the enemy’s charge and together push the enemy back.

As you live in the gospel, secure in the peace Christ has provided, you can advance the gospel into enemy territory. So come Sunday and consider the power of the gospel in your life!
