Christ’s mission is to fight our battles, however, His protection is conditional. This is demonstrated by the five prerequisites stipulated in this sermon. We need to take advantage of this promise and meet these prerequisites so as to prevent suffering, because Christ who gives us deliverance as our Saviour fights our battles.
These five pre-requisites are:
- Obey the laws of God – Be righteous, hang onto the truth and don’t depart from it.
- Ask God daily for His protection – ask for right things in the right manner.
- Never tempt God – make wise spiritual and physical decisions in order to prevent trouble, and do our part using wisdom.
- Exercise faith – diligently seek God knowing that He will do what He says He will do.
- In everything give thanks – thank God in advance, and give God thanks for our daily blessings.
