There is no place for passivity in a Believer because Satan is constantly trying to undermine us.     

But to Fight is antithetical to most Christians .     

Such read this verse and gut its import by saying Fighting the Fight of Faith is only Spiritual Warfare .     But James tells us that real Faith produces Works - and those Works play out in the Physical Realm .     

We 'lay hold' on the GIFT of Eternal Life by bringing it to bear in the Physical Realm .     Otherwise Eternal Life is just theoretical.     

Exercising our Testimony is the foundation of our impact on the Physical Realm .     It opens the door for the Kingdom Of God to manifest on Earth as it does in Heaven .   

We ought always to be mindful of our Lord who is the head of the Body as well as the offering and the offerer of the Sacrifice whereby we are Reconciled .     

While the things that Jesus did are often emphasized with some consideration given to what He said, there is not so much attention to what Christ had in mind after we were Redeemed by His Blood and Born Again of His Spirit .     Without understanding Christ's expectation for us we are not able to understand what He said and did and why He said and did it.     

Simply put, Christ Jesus is the First Fruit of many Sons Of God .     His expectation for us is that we be like Him.      1Jn 3:2

If we recognize the Authority and Power that Christ Jesus has there is no reason to ever loosen our grip on His Faith .   

Do not let Satan or anyone else convince you to Doubt the Gospel of Grace Through Faith whose provision is yours by Faith In Christ .
