Hebrews 6:12 (NKJV) 12 that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
As followers of Christ, we have to be in a forward motion and not give up on our walk with God.
Growing and becoming Christlike takes being patient and enduring to the end.
We can’t get lazy. We cannot let down our guard. We need to be steadfast, alert, discerning, and learning continually.
What helps us to be good faith-filled warriors?
Ephesians 6:11 (NKJV) 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
God’s armor will keep us alert and protected! We need to be fully dressed in His armor; covered from head to toe.
What is God’s armor?
Ephesians 6:14-18 (NKJV) 14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—
It’s all right here in these verses…
14 – Knowing the truth and standing firm in it.
15 – Prepare ourselves with the gospel of Peace.
16 – Walk in faith; don’t try to do it on our own, but trust that God’s Spirit is with us all the way.
17 – Walk in the freedom we have received through salvation in Christ, carrying His word in our hearts.
18 – pray, watch and keep going.
Be encouraged today. Don’t waste time listening to the naysayers. Keep persevering, and stay fully covered in God’s armor. We shall inherit the promises together! Amen.
