Posted by Jonathan Merigala In 1 Corinthians 15:24, we read that Christ will deliver up the kingdom to the Father after He has subdued all rebellion and put everything under His feet.
This is how He will do it in our case also.
He wants to offer us up to the Father after He has subdued all rebellion within us and defeated all the lusts that ruled our bodies.
The thoughts and opinions that run riot within our minds must all be brought into subjection by the mighty weapon of the death of Christ that has been placed at our proposal before we are fit to be presented to the Father.
The giants that roar like Goliath in our minds, in times of temptation have to be hammered and beaten until their voice gets reduced to a whisper and finally to nothing.
God will encircle us with people and situations that bring and crush our self-will until He triumphs over us inwardly.
Then all your enemies are defeated.
When you are weak in yourself, then you will be truly strong in the Lord.
Personal Reflection:
What is the greatest thing in the world for a Christian?
