We have an enemy in Satan and he isn't just content
to kill Christians, he wants to wipe out humanity and fill hell with
the hated creatures that are made in the image of God. The Devil has
been defeated but that doesn't mean he is down and out. The Bible
describes him as a roaring lion who is running loose and seeking
someone to devour. It is therefore vital to be serious because our
spiritual effort can and will affect the fate of men and women
around us. Life isn't a game and yet that is exactly how most
people treat their existence. The only problem is that we don't get
to undo our actions. Meanwhile, the Devil and his minions have
managed to intimidate the majority of Christians through fear, but
the Bible says that the perfect love casts out fear. God has not
given us the spirit of torment; but of power, and of love, and of a
sound mind. In other words, God doesn't want us to be afraid. The
only limits God has are the ones we impose on Him. If you are what
you eat, then you also are what you focus on. As a man thinks, so he
becomes. Moving from theory to reality is challenging but God will
reward your faith and the effort you put toward your walk with Him.
