Knowing What We Are Up Against

Not knowing what is happening is one of our greatest challenges in physical and emotional lives. When someone is missing or late, we want to know where and how are they. When we are sick, we want to know what is wrong with us. When something breaks down we want to know what is wrong, how can we fix it, or how much it will cost. Our spiritual lives are no different; we want to know what we face and how can we face it victoriously. The Bible gives us the truth about our struggle and what will help us overcome it (Eph 6:10-18).

Do you remember, as a little child, how simple the Bible narratives were for you? God was more powerful than anything, no matter what. When people chose to trust and obey God, they would overcome any obstacles of life. This has never changed. God still keeps His promises, those who accept His promises find life in them!

¹⁴ When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. ¹⁵ I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”  (Mark 10:14-15)

Trust and Obey

God has always called people to Himself through His own word. His word always calls people to trust Him and willingly obey Him. God has never called anyone to accomplish righteousness on their own efforts, this would be a nonsensical call to people who have sinned, and it is sinners God calls, to save themselves by accomplishing their own righteousness. God calls us to trust in the righteousness of His Son Christ Jesus and obey Him by faith (Num 15:37-41; Rom 1:5; 6:17-18; Gal 2:16, 20-21).

“Jesus went away from there, and withdrew into the district of Tyre and Sidon. And a Canaanite woman from that region came out and began to cry out, saying, “Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is cruelly demon-possessed.” But He did not answer her a word. And His disciples came and implored Him, saying, “Send her away, because she keeps shouting at us.” But He answered and said, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” But she came and began to bow down before Him, saying, “Lord, help me!” And He answered and said, “It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.” But she said, “Yes, Lord; but even the dogs feed on the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.” Then Jesus said to her, “O woman, your faith is great; it shall be done for you as you wish.” And her daughter was healed at once.” Matthew 15:21-28 NASB

God’s Call to Us

God’s call to us is the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. He calls us in the gospel to salvation (Rom 1:16), but the call is through the sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth (2 Thes 2:13-14), and, the truth is without love: we do not do any good, we do not amount to anything, and we do not gain anything (1 Cor 13:1-3). 

God’s love has been poured out into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom He has given us, (Rom 5:5) and His love is both powerful and practical in our lives (1 Cor 13:4-8).
