As a Christian, you’re on the front lines of spiritual warfare—stay alert, suit up in God’s armor, and fight the good fight with faith and the Word.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. To be a Christian is to sign up for the front lines of real spiritual warfare. When the devil aims at you with one of his fiery darts, you can be sure his goal is to take you out of the battle. He wants nothing more than to force you to go AWOL. But the Bible is full of admonishments to stand firm, be strong in the Lord, array yourself daily in spiritual armor, and fight the good fight. Words like these ring with a sense of urgency. They are like the words of a platoon leader addressing his unit just before they enter combat. The air is tense, your heart is beating fast and even if you love battle, your hands are sweaty. “Watch your step; be smart; don’t miss this opportunity; keep yourself lean for the fight!” Today, friend, don’t forget to arm yourself with the shield of faith and the sword of the Spirit. It’s the best way to be prepared for the good fight and the same is true for you.
