How are Christians associated to the facility of God? On this sermon on Ephesians 6.10–13 titled “God’s Battle, not Ours,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones explains that Christians should do not forget that Jesus Christ is the captain of their salvation. Salvation is God’s work. Christians are particular person troopers in an important military combating an important marketing campaign. The last word perspective isn’t the person’s battle, however God’s. The battle is the Lord’s. God is “main many sons to glory” in accordance with His scheme. The appointed chief of this plan is Jesus and because the Christian fights, they need to do not forget that God is concerned in all of it with them. Subsequently, they need to understand this: this battle can not fail as a result of God’s honor is in it. This implies their salvation is safe. Christians can not “fall from grace,” as a result of to take action means the facility of God fails and the satan wins. That doesn’t occur. Subsequently those that are in Christ are safe and saved by the facility of God at work in them. The satan can shout, rail, and threaten, however he can not contact these within the kingdom of Christ. All believers are members of the physique of Christ, empowered by His Spirit, and due to this fact saved from the satan triumphing over them in the long run.
We should understand our want for energy due to the facility of the enemy.
We should understand our want for energy due to our personal weak spot.
We should understand God’s energy. God is concerned in our salvation way more than we’re.
God is the captain of our salvation. We’re particular person items in God’s military combating God’s battle.
God’s almighty energy is being exercised on our behalf, even after we are unaware of it. God cares for us and his look after us is bigger than we understand.
God’s energy is working in us, not simply round us. We might by no means have been within the Christian life have been it not for God’s energy working in us.
God’s energy continues to work in us, strengthening our internal being.
The ability that works in us is the Holy Spirit. The Spirit works in us mightily.
The doctrine of the church implies this energy working in us. The church is the physique of Christ, and Christ is the top. The ability within the head works in all members of the physique.
The Holy Spirit dwells in us, giving us energy and making intercession for us.” from the video introduction
