Final Victory
Today’s Scripture is from Paul’s letter to Timothy. Paul is encouraging Timothy to face difficulty as a good soldier. Telling him that implies that he is in a battle! This battle started a long time ago, even before Adam and Eve’s fall in the Garden of Eden.
It started when Satan and the other angels (now known as demons) rebelled against almighty GOD. They established their own kingdom and waged war with GOD! And ever since Adam and Eve’s disobedience of eating the forbidden fruit (which corrupted all mankind), every human being ever born has a nature bent away from the LORD and is in great need of a Savior (our YESHUA)!
Our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against rulers of the darkness of this age (Ephesians 6:12), check it out!
2 Tim. 2:3
You therefore must endure hardships as a good soldier of MESSIAH YESHUA.
Ungodliness fills our society. Even though it seems at times Satan is winning, we who are saved have the assurance we belong to GOD, who is greater! Read the end of the book (Book of Revelation)! We have the final victory through MESSIAH YESHUA! Praise our soon coming KING OF KINGS!
