Who Can Be Against Us and Why?

Christian churches have always worked to help others in their community.  Christians take on ministries to feed the poor and help the sick.  Christian missionaries not only spread the gospel to other cities and countries, they continue the ministries as well.  The purpose of Christian living is to show God's love in this ungodly world.  Who can be against the sharing of God's love and plan of salvation?

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, 

who have been called according to his purpose." - Romans 8:28 (NIV)

So how can a people who show love be targeted by hated by some in this world?   Are you wondering why churches and Christianity are being attacked and lied about?  Could it be the devil is running scared of what the joint voices and prayers of the Church following Jesus Christ can do?  Is satan and his demon forces working hard to stop the Church from their mission?  YES, they are!

"What, then, shall we say in response to these things? 

If God is for us, who can be against us?" - Romans 8:31 (NIV)

What should Christians do now?  God does not tell us to be meek and wait for persecution to come.  Instead we are to stand against evil and be a beacon of the Light in this dark age.  God has equipped  Christians to win the war. over evil  We need to Pray, Praise, and  Put on the full armor of God and get ready for battle.

"In all these things we are more than conquerors 

through him who loved us." - Romans 8:37 (NIV)
