How to Fight and What to Fight For - Part 2

Do Not fight in order to be Justified before God But Fight as a Justified Sinner - Clarification # 3

Learn the secrete of gutsy guilt.

Your fight is not the foundation of your rightiousness. Jesus is the founation of your rightiousness

Galatians 3:13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree”

Romans 8:32 He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?

Romans 3:28 For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law.

The sin that we fight is a defeated and forgiven sin. The only fight we can win is the fight against the sins that are already covered. We cannot turn it around and fight unforgiven sins.

This is the great Catholic error.

Micah 7:7-8 But as for me, I will look to the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me. 8 Rejoice not over me, O my enemy; when I fall, I shall rise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD will be a light to me. 9 I will bear the indignation of the LORD because I have sinned against him, until he pleads my cause and executes judgment for me. He will bring me out to the light; I shall look upon his vindication.

Clarification #4 The fight for Joy is the fight to see.

if the purpose of our creation was to display is glory then our fight is to see his Glory.

Matthew 13:13 This is why I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.

They cannot see the spiritual reality. They are not seen by the physical eyes.

Ephesians 1:18 having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints,

the physical things points to the glory of God which we see with our spiritual eyes.

Where do we see the Glory of God?

In nature

Psalms 19:1
