Bible Question:
Greetings in the name of Jesus! Christians believe that currently there is a war fare going on between God and Satan. Are christians involved in this war and how about non-christians? With love in christ FytRobert |
Bible Answer: Greetings FytRobert, Ephesians tell us that we do not wrestle against flesh and blood but instead against spiritual hosts of wickedness in heavenly places. All battles are between God and Satan. Christians are involved in this war because we are part of God's army that wage war in the heavenlies by the power of prayer. We have been given the power to bring Satan and his demons down. Non Christians are involved because with or without knowing it they war on the side of evil. You can either be for good or evil, for God or for Satan. There is no gray area. If you have not given your life to Christ then you are on the side of evil. Hope this helps. prayon |
