Jesus is the only begotten Son of the Father. He was not made or created, but He is one with the Father. Jesus was the incarnation of God on earth. He is fully human and fully divine—neither His humanity nor His divinity is compromised or diminished.

The Trinity distinguishes and elevates our God from and above all others, but more importantly our salvation highlights the trinitarian nature of God. Thus, the Trinity is at the heart of the Gospel—He saves us by sending His Son and Spirit. John 3:16 famously tells us that in His love the Father gives us His only, eternally begotten Son so that we may receive eternal life. The Son of God becomes a Son of Man, so that we may become sons and daughters of God (John 3:11-16). The Father and Son then send their Spirit to dwell in us so we can experience this new life as children of God

To engage in spiritual warfare we must know the proper weapons of spiritual battle. We first recognize that the victory is already won through the work of Jesus Christ. We are not victims to the Evil one, the world, or even the broken thoughts and feelings of a sinful flesh. Living in faith, we actively stand firm against evil with God’s Word and with prayer.

As we engage the spiritual war taking place all around us. We must first recognize that we do not wage war against other people. The ultimate enemy is never another person—the enemy consist of dark spiritual forces—rulers, authorities, powers, and forces.

Spiritual warfare is a reality of the world that we live in. Evil forces war against God and His purposes, and we are often caught in the crossfire. In this spiritual world we must avoid the twin dangers of either ignoring these spiritual forces or hyper-focusing and fearing them. While there is a spiritual war taking place, God already holds the victory. We don’t have to fight for that victory. We live FROM that victory.

Jesus is King
