Ephesians Part 103

INTRO: The greatest commitment of all commitments is the decision to become a Christian. Two things are required of man to become a Christian. Number one is repentance from sin. The second is to live the rest of one's life by faith in Jesus Christ. This commitment is a life-long commitment. The moment a person makes this commitment he enters a battlefield. Now that this person has given his allegiance to Almighty God, Satan will do what he can to destroy this believer.

The battle the believer enters is fought in the mind. Here it is won or lost. And in order to maintain that commitment in the battle he will need the Word of God to guide and direct life and to give him guidelines and instructions on how to live. And so as Paul concludes his letter to the Ephesians he gives them instruction on how to stand in the midst of the storms that will come.
