Who Fights For You?

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? - Romans 8:31

for the LORD your God is he who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies, to give you the victory.' - Deuteronomy 20:4

One man of you puts to flight a thousand, since it is the LORD your God who fights for you, just as he promised you. - Joshua 23:10

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go." - Joshua 1:9

Through you we push down our foes; through your name we tread down those who rise up against us.  - Psalm 44:5

You shall not fear them, for it is the LORD your God who fights for you.' - Deuteronomy 3:22

but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.  - Isaiah 40:31

And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell. - Matthew 10:28

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. - John 10:10

Foes may be human, 

could even be cancer or any manner of illness that can attack our mortal body

or it could be addictions to drugs, alcohol or sex.

Our defender is God!

With the death and resurrection of Christ our Lord, victory has been assured.

The battle is won!

Your assurance is through faith in Christ's ability to satisfy the wrath of a holy God.

In your state of sin, you are separated from God.

Repent!

Repent means claiming and knowing that you are a lost sinner on the road to Hell.

Helpless, hopeless, and needing a Savior to be justified.

Repent means turning from sin and becoming a new creation in Christ.

It doesn't mean that you are now immune from sin, it simply means repentance is always on your mind because you abhor rebellion to Holy God.

You will be persecuted.

Remember God is for you!
