This popular question answered plainly and as you may not have heard it answered before…
Let us remember what they fight for….

“You then, my child, be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus, and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. Share in suffering as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.” – ESV / Commentary
v.11 – “…For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh….” – ESV / Commentary
“But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us…” – ESV
“For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” – ESV / Commentary
“So the disciples said to one another, “Has anyone brought him something to eat?”Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work…” – ESV / Commentary
“Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.” – ESV
“…The righteous flourish like the palm tree and grow like a cedar in Lebanon. They are planted in the house of the Lord; they flourish in the courts of our God. They still bear fruit in old age; they are ever full of sap and green, to declare that the Lord is upright; he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him…” [esv]
Fun Fact: Did you know that the roots of the Cedars of Lebanon grow so deep and so wide underneath the Earth that they actually connect and merge together with other Cedars of Lebanon, creating a whole network of roots that over time become one tree as a whole, sharing the same nutrients. Doesn’t that remind you of something familiar? That’s right, that is what the Church is, we are all connected together through our roots in Christ and share the same nutrients and truths that allow us to grow together and build each other up! OT Reference…
“…Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love……” [esv]
“I am not skilled to understand
What God has willed, what God has planned
I only know at His right hand
Stands one who is my SaviorI take Him at His word and deed
Christ died to save me; this I read
And in my heart I find a need
Of Him to be my savior” – Aaron Shust: My Savior My God
How true these lyrics are, let them resonate with you as you contemplate the great sacrifice of Christ Jesus this week and throughout our Bible Study – A Beautiful Exchange.
God Bless!
“…Now the law came in to increase the trespass, but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord….” [esv]
