The battle lines had been drawn.
Well, it has been an interesting eight months!
Last year, I wrote a deep-dive study about Spiritual Warfare. The study covered how we are living a spiritual reality, whether sinners or not. We looked at understanding how sin has an agenda, and Who can defeat the agenda of sin. As well as consider how everything around us may not be the influence of Satan or demons. We have a responsibility, and we have a huge role in what we allow to affect us spiritually.
Understandably because of the post size, I know not all readers are able go through the whole post in one setting. So one way to help readers navigate through an easier to read way is to break portions of the post into Short-Answers.
Short-Answers is a series in which I share portions of a post related to specific topics. As the Short-Answer series finishes up the post of Spiritual Warfare, I wanted to let you know where you can locate all 9 Short-Answer posts today.

The Gospel Message– The Gospel message is good news, which means there’s bad news. We all are sinners and condemned. We all deserve the just punishment of God’s wrath. Christianity is unlike any other religion because we cannot earn our way into Heaven. God saw the weakness of man and his utter depravity. Yet, He showed us grace. Jesus, God, One Person of the Trinity, became God in the flesh, the God-Man. He was always perfect and sinless. And His humanity was perfected on the cross, living the full sinless life. He became our atonement sacrifice. Dying in our place, taking on the wrath of God upon Himself. He died on the cross, and He was resurrected because death could not hold Him. Jesus is the answer. We, as guilty sinners, need His blood to pay off our debt of sin. For all who put their faith in Him – meaning eyes are opened to the Gospel, we see ourselves as a sinner, we see the need for Christ, we desire our Savior, and we see the ugliness of our sin. Putting our faith in Jesus, we seek HIs forgiveness and repent from our sins, we turn away from our old way of life. We, through the work of the Holy Spirit, continue to become convicted of sin daily. Our eyes will never be the same again. We see things in a different light, and the truth of Christ affects how we live and serve Him. Christ tells us to count the cost. Salvation is a serious topic, it is not to be taken lightly. For a breakdown of this powerful message, understanding how Christ could be God and Man, why God required sacrifices, and more -please see: Why Did A Loving God Kill His Son? (Does God Hate?)
