Sermon 401 Get in the Battle!

"...Awake thou that sleepest, and Christ shall give thee light." (Ephesians 5:14a)

Others are right when they say many Christians have lost interest in the battle, and many simply don't care. Do you know you're in a battle? Do you know what it's for or about? Are you awake? I said are you awake?

Many are asleep so "...awake thou that sleepest, and Christ shall give thee light." (Ephesians 5:14a) Many Christians are worse than lukewarm-your dead to Christianity but alive to the world! It's not acceptable behavior to think in this manner. The enemy is relentless, ruthless, subtle, crafty, and single-minded with a goal to progress filth and error. They will stop at nothing to win. They may win a battle here and there, but they will not win the war!

It takes all of us-every true believer must stand up. We must not quit. On you fight like men! Why is it so difficult for you to understand? The cause is just, the one we uphold is just, and the end result will be just. We cannot say to you "we encourage you to do this or that" but we must now say, "you must." You must read your Bible cover to cover and all the time, you must pray all the time, you must seek wisdom from God, and you must stand on the side of right trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit. You must, you must, you must!

We must, "...Earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints." (Jude 3) Will you?
