“When
you go out to battle against your enemies, and see horses and chariots and
people more numerous than you, do not be afraid of them; for the Lord your God
is with you, who brought you up from the land of Egypt” (Deut 20:1).
If we want to conquer
sin, then we must believe the gospel of Christ. We can’t go in our own stregnth
against sin and Satan. We believe that we’re reconciled, or we don’t have the
power to do good, spiritual good. We
believe that Christ died for us, and all is well, even though we are sinners.
We believe the blood removes all sins because God is gracious to give the Son
for us to atone for what we’ve done. We
believe the Holy Spirit is our Helper BECAUSE OF reconciliation, that being
justified by faith, we get the help of God, so that He will conquer our lusts.
Without this confidence in God, we can’t continue, and we’ll quit the race. Sin
will rule us, and we’ll be destroyed.
