Such confidence we have through Christ before God. 2 Corinthians 3:4
How do you disarm a Christian? You make them question their worthiness, their logic, the cross, the Holy Spirit. The church at Corinth struggled with every confusion in their day that we deal with in ours. They were attacked on every side with conflicting opinions, compromised theologies, antagonisms and personal agendas. The faith and discipleship of these new converts was being crippled by these internal disputes. Satan delighted because they were defeating themselves from the inside out.
Paul reminds that IT IS THROUGH CHRIST ALONE that we are saved and by the power of the Holy Spirit we live in victory.
A confident Christian is a powerful force. There is a boldness to tell the nations, a kindness that puts others first (God will provide our needs so why push and shove) and a grace that accepts and extends forgiveness.
Satan is a thief and his target is your confidence. Know you are treasured and loved, your sins are gone, and you stand justified and Holy before God.
Love,
Gretchen
