this is war

once we've been rescued from the chains of sin
we not only enter into a royal priesthood
we not only enter into the Family of God
but we become rebels in this world

the world will hate us because the world hated Jesus,

Matthew 10:25 It is enough for a disciple to become like his teacher and a slave like his master. If they called the head of the house ‘Beelzebul,’ how much more the members of his household!

but we have what this world doesn't have
HOPE

real HOPE

something eternal
we have God fighting on our side
as I realize just how much Christianity is under attack here lately
I'm starting to see more and more that

We are at war, and in the midst of the war the hope is this....

That the battle has already been won

WE ARE AT WAR
WE ARE REBELS

REBELS WITH A MISSION AND THE POWER TO CARRY IT OUT

Matthew 28
¹⁸ Then Jesus came near and said to them, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. ¹⁹ Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, ²⁰ teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
