The Final Battle

Scripture
The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
(John 10:10)
Devotional
What a word picture of the spiritual warfare taking place in our lives. Ephesians 6:12 reiterates the text, “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” There is no neutral ground in the battle for the lives of those created in the image of God. Unless we are on Christ’s side we are losing the battle. How do we know if we are losing? We can simply ask: Are my finances being stolen? Are my dreams being killed? Am I on a road leading to destruction? If I answer yes to these or similar questions, I may be on the wrong side of the spiritual fence. I must therefore submit every realm of my life to Christ, resist the devil and live the abundant life God has designed just for me. (1)
