The Christian life is a warfare, a struggle, a fight of faith. Every Christian is called to be a soldier. Hence, he is not meant to live a life of religious ease, indolence, or security. The hosts of Satan are committed to hindering and obstructing the work of Christ and to knock the soldier out of combat. The more effective a believer is for the Lord, the more he will experience the savage attacks of the enemy. His success depends entirely on believing.
