Are we willing to obey God no matter the cost? Christ was willing to obey, not so much the suffering, but in obedience to God, the Father. because His obedience would cause our redemption. The battle ground for the Christian life is the mind, not the heart. The battle ground is, in fact, the way we think. Having the mindset of Christ requires us to be equipped with the proper weapon..that is truth..so we can be prepared for whatever may come our way.
