[Songs in the Night - June 19]
Take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day. Ephesians 6:13
NO MAN ever puts on armor unless he expects to
fight.
If he is a soldier of the cross, the "sword of the
Spirit" is the great weapon with which he will prove
his loyalty and strength.
The brethren should build
each other up in the most holy faith, fighting the good
fight, and showing their loyalty to the Lord and to the
truth. (Jude 20; I Timothy 6:12)
Those who succumb
to the influences of darkness show themselves
unworthy of the new order of things, and they may not
expect to be sharers with Christ in his kingdom, but
to be among those rejected of the Lord as unworthy. Z'12-288 R5098:2 (Hymn 266)
