For the “Warriors of Christ”, the Lord, the Holy Spirit, and the Son come first.
Christ is of the Spirit and the Word, not Caesar and the mundane.
Therefore, the Lord and spiritual laws come before the earthly mundane aspects of Caesar.
Consideration and diligence are based upon what Jesus would do, not what Caesar would do.
The ultimate goal is salvation, achieved by receiving the Lord's salvation through a purity of heart, marked by love, grace, peace, and gratitude, with the Holy Spirit.
What are the elements of the “Warriors of Christ”?*
Faith and Trust in the Lord: Confidence comes from the power of the Holy Spirit and faith in the Lord, not one's own.
Fighting for Victory: The "warrior" fights for the Lord and a position of victory secured by Jesus Christ's resurrection, not for victory itself.
Spiritual Warfare: Believers are called to be warriors in a spiritual battle, using the power of the Holy Spirit rather than worldly methods, fighting for the holy against Satan and the unholy.
The Armor of God: Putting on the full armor of God—including the helmet of salvation, shield of faith, and Sword of the Spirit (the Word of God)—activating the Lord's armor by connecting to the power of the Holy Spirit with purity of heart, conviction of mind, and faith of spirit, which is essential to stand against spiritual attacks.*
Service and Love: Warriors serve others through love and compassion, living by the way, the truth, and the light in Christian values of love, peace, and fellowship.
🏳️✝️
Because the “Warriors of Christ” represent Jesus, the teachings and values, they must honorably stand firm and defend the banner and flag of the cross with integrity, decency, and love in the fight for eternal love and peace of the holy, against the hate, violence, and the destructive harm of Satan and the unholy.
