There's a war going on...

Christians know about war or at least should know about war---Spiritual warfare is something which is going on even as I write this. Ephesians 6 speaks of this warfare. There is a war between good and evil going on. There are wars and battles that can be seen and battles that are fought with military might. Some of these battles are fought with words and take place indirectly. The commander of evil is Satan. Whether this war is fought in the natural or spiritual realm, he is behind all that which opposes God. God is good, righteous and holy and demands justice. God is behind all that is good, righteous and perfect.

We are seeing physical evidence of the two wars going on right now between terrorist groups (such as Hezbollah) and the state of Israel in the form of lives being taken and cities destroyed. Many people want to blame Israel and the United States for wars with any such terrorists. The war is visible militarily in the natural realm, yet just under the surface Christians are engaged in the exact same war. Any people who seek to destroy human life because their religion demands it, is sadly on the side of evil. The same spirit which sought to destroy Jesus and release a murderer named Barabbas is alive and well today. Satan seeks to destroy life and is against all who worship the God of the Bible. Remember, our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world powers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavens. (Ephesians 6:12)

The religion of Islam advocates the destruction of Israel and all who worship Jesus Christ the only true God. Satan knows who Jesus is and ultimately seeks to destroy all who follow God. Unfortunately, many have been taken captive by the devil to do his will. (2 Timothy 2:25, 26)
God has made it clear in his word who the enemy is and what the duty for all Christians is.
