We are in the middle of spiritual combat. "Dressed For Battle" is our series at Fusion Christian Church about winning that combat by wearing the Armor of God. In week three, Pastor Joel teaches about the importance of setting your feet spiritually.

Set your feet on the Rock.

The most important step to setting your feet is to set them in the right place. Spiritually, the only place where it is secure to set your feet is on God himself. God is the rock of our salvation and when we plant our feet firmly in him we are prepared to defend any spiritual attack. Jesus Christ, being God, is also the rock of our salvation and the chief cornerstone of our faith. This is because Jesus is not just a sure foundation, he is the only foundation for our lives. There is salvation in no other name than the name of Jesus Christ.

Never stop learning.

The scriptures command and the spiritual trials of life demand that we grow spiritually. If we do not grow, we will remain spiritually immature: like babies. If we want to be effective witnesses of the gospel as God has commanded us, then we must continue to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord. Just as one must sharpen a knife to make it useful for cutting, so a Christian must sharpen himself to be useful for God's work.

Never stop sharing.

Just as it would be a waste to sharpen a knife and never use it, so too is it a waste to sharpen yourself and never evangelize. All the learning in the world will never make a difference if we do not actually use it. Christ commanded us to go into the world and make disciples, teaching them everything he commanded. A faithful servant of God will share the gospel no matter the cost. If we want to live according to God's word, we must never stop sharing.
