Christianity is a fighting religion—
if we may apply the word “religion”
to it at all. People sometimes ignor
antly suggest that fighting words, in
timating warfare or conflict of any
sort, ought to be excluded from the
Christian’s vocabulary. If this were
done, we should have to have a new
Bible.
Christians are told that the Son of
God, Jesus Christ, is “the Captain of
their salvation” (Heb. 2:10).
Christ Himself said: “Think not
that I am come to send peace on
earth: I came not to send peace, but
a sword” (Matt, 10.34).
Paul wrote by inspiration to young
Timothy, his son in the faith, charg
ing him “that thou . . mightest war
a good warfare” (1 Tm. 1:8). "Fight
the good fight of faith” (1 Tim. 6:12).
Eventually, of course, the war will
b eover, the fighting will cease, when
Christ “The Prince of Peace” (Isa.
9:6) shall have “put all enemies under
His feet,” including “the last enemy
that shall be destroyed,” which is
death (I Cor. 15:25, 26). But until
sin and death have been forever con
quered and put away the fighting
must go on, for there is an irrecon
cilable conflict between Christ and
Satan, righteousness and sin, life and
death.
Wherever the Gospel is faithfully,
fearlessly preached, as Paul preached
it, Satan and sinful men will see that
there is a fight. When Paul, as his
custom was, “went into the synagogue
and spake bodly for the space of three
month" in Ephesus, things began to
happen. Many of his hearers believed
and were saved; but "divers (different
ones) were hardened, and believed
not, but spake evil of that way before
the multitude.” So the fight was on.
Paul stayed on in Ephesus for two
years, preaching boldly and publicly,
and finally there were so many be
lievers that a public demonstration
occurred. “And many that believed
came ,and confessed, and shewed their
deeds. Many of them also which used
curious arts brought their books to
gether, and burned them before all
men: and they counted the price of
them and found it fifty thousand piec
es of silver. So mightily grew the
Word of God and prevailed.
'This great number of books that,
were burned was the literature of
false religion, l^et us never forget
that faLe religion means the way of
eternal death, offered to men instead,
’of the holy way of eternal life, which
is by faith in Christ as Saviour. We
can well believe that the publishers
of such booksj and the devotees of
those false religions,- were enraged by
Paul's Gospel campaign.
A little later in Ephesus the pros
perity of an idolatrous, death-dealing
trade was injured by Paul’s preaching,
Silversmiths in Ephesus made silver
shrines for the goddess Diana, and
this business “brought no small gain
unto the craftsmen.” As people turn
ed away from Diana worship to Christ
the silver shrine business fell off. A
leader among the silversmiths, De
metrius, assembled the workmen of
his trade and made charges against
Paul. The whole city was stirred, and
finall.y the mob spirit was aroused,
as people shouted, “Great is Diana of
the Ephesians.”
It was one of the many riots that
Paul's faithful preaching precipitated.
The mob was finally dispersed by the
Town Clerk, a man in authority. Paul
felt that his long ministry there had
come to an end, and started fur fur*
ther missionary -work in other parts
of Europe.
Writing later to the Ephesian Chris
tians, Paul told them in detail how
to fight a winning fight in the Chris
tian warfare.
They were to have confidence in
their natural strength, but were to “be
strong in the Lord, and. in the power
of His might.”
Then Paul describes the “armor of
God,” and he makes it plain that, if
wc would win in this fight, we must
wear, not some or much of the armor,
but “ the whole armor of God.” For
it is a fight, not primarily against evil
men, but against evil spirits working
under the command of Satan himself.
The names of the various pieces of
armor are given, and it is significant,
that each piece of armor is really
Christ Himself. It is only another
way of saying, “But put ye on the
Lord Jesus Christ” (Rom. 13:4).
"Stand therefore, having your loins
girt about with truth." Christ says;
"I am . . . the truth” (John 14:6).
“And having on the breastplate of
righteousness." “But of Him are ye
in Christ Jesus, who of God is made
unto us . . . righteousness” (1 Cor.
1:30).
“And you feet shod with the prep
aration of the Gospel of Peace.” "For
He is our peace" (Eph. 2:14).
"Above all, taking the shield, of
faith.” “I live by the faith of the Son •
of God” (Gal. 2-20).
"And take the helmet of salvation.”
“The Lord is become my salvation”
(Psa. 118:14).
All these pieces of armor arc for
i our protection and defense. Now
comes the only weapon of offense,
which every Christian is to use: “the
sword of the Spirit, which is the word
of God." Is it a trustworthy weapon?
How sharp is it? “For the word of
God is living, and powerful ,and sharp
er than any two-edged sword” (Heb.
4:12). It is the undefeatable weapon
used by Christ Himself against the
deadly attacks of Satan, when Christ
counter-attacked each time by say
ing, "It is written” (Matt. 4:4, 7, 10).
In Christ, and with the Bible, every
Christian may have complete and con
tinual victory.
