Who are we as a people? We, the church, are an holy nation, a spiritual priesthood.
What is our Promised Land? Zion, also called the New Jerusalem found in the New Heavens and New Earth.
Who are our enemies to overcome that we might inherit that land? Our enemies are without number and mighty. These are every high thought of ours that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, which is the Gospel of our Salvation.
What is our fight then? Our fight is not against flesh and blood but it is a spiritual warring against lies and deceptions in our hearts. It is the fight against unbelief so that it can properly be called the good fight of faith.
But if our heart is deceitful, how then shall we conquer? By the power of the Holy Ghost through whom we are said to be more than conquerors.
Is this conquering by the Spirit total and complete in victory? In this life, we do not yet experience the fullness of the victory over sin and death, but only in part. The victory won for us in Jesus Christ will be experienced in completeness on that final day, when we are said to overcome Satan by the blood of the Lamb.
Who then shall receive honor for the final possession of this land? Our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, the captain of our salvation and hope of glory. He is not only the Author of but also the Finisher of our faith. Praise be to God for this victory.
