We, followers of Christ, have to learn how to live in the battle, because the battle is not going anywhere: it will not disappear, it will be unforgiving, and it will only end in death. Therefore, we have to learn how to ‘do life’ within the battle, and you will see that the closer you move towards Christ, the closer you will advance to the front lines, where ‘living in the battle’ actually grows more tough. A relentless/persistent spirit is needed to ‘do life’ within the battle. ‘Living in the battle’ should never be easy; but, maybe, just maybe, with the grace of God and a relentless spirit, that is soaked in God’s power, you will be able to make continuous attempts at faithfulness. Unabatedly, and unabashedly, give your life to the Universe’s Stratégos Hypatos, who truly cares about each and every one of us. I love you, broskis.
“All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.” (2 Cor 5.18-19)
“And I will betroth you to me forever. I will betroth you to me in righteousness and in justice, in steadfast love and in mercy. I will betroth you to me in faithfulness. And you shall know the LORD.” (Hosea 2.19-20)
“Forever, O LORD, your word is firmly fixed in the heavens. Your faithfulness endures to all generations; you have established the earth, and it stands fast.” (Ps 119.89-90)
