Religion tells us to fight and that we must defend the faith. But Jesus tells us something completely different. Since Jesus already won the victory, He tells us to enter into His rest.
This truth makes no sense whatsoever to the natural mind. However, the Bible is clear. God gives us the victory in Christ, so we no longer have to fight to obtain it. We simply receive the victory He's already won.
Our role is to occupy until Jesus returns. Even though the enemy is defeated, he has not yet left the field. Yet because Jesus won the victory, we don’t need to defeat the enemy. We have a responsibility to resist him and he will flee from us, like the Bible instructs us to do.
It's time to wake up to the truth that war is over and stop fighting to win what's already won. You don’t have to defend Jesus any longer. He’s already defeated every foe that will ever rise up. Relax and enjoy the victory Jesus won for your sake.
But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. — 1 Corinthians 15:57 (WEB)
