Well, let me tell you the one truth you can absolutely count on from here to eternity – if you are a Christian, a born-again, full of the Holy Spirit, marked by faith and repentance Christian, you can count on this – Jesus Christ always fights for you.
That is not a slogan or a bumper sticker; it is the undeniable, all-conquering truth of the Bible, and it ought to be your balm, your comfort, your hope in life and in death. Jesus fights for you when you are afraid, for I the Lord your God hold your right hand. It is also I who say to you, “Fear not.” I am the One who helps you. Isaiah 41:13.
Jesus Christ fights for you when you’re tempted. 1 Corinthians 10: He will not let you be tempted beyond your ability but with the temptation He will provide the way of escape that you may be able to endure it.
The Lord Jesus fights for you against sin. Romans 8:2: For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.
The Lord Jesus fights for you when you wonder and doubt the love of God. Ephesians 3. Christ dwells in your hearts through faith so that you being rooted and grounded in love may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge.
