The battle fought for us

**Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you,** O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the LORD will be with you. (2 Chronicles 20:17) *A remembrance Sunday Service* 1/ The battle fought for us - Redemption. 2/ Battles we are called to fight. 3/ A victory to see - The salvation of the Lord. *Note: The correct tune to the second hymn is St. Luke 834* **Sermon Summary:** The sermon centers on the profound truth that for God's people, the ultimate battle of salvation is not fought by human effort but is decisively won by the Lord Himself, as illustrated through historical events such as the Red Sea deliverance, David's victory over Goliath, Hezekiah's deliverance from Assyria, and Jehoshaphat's triumph over enemy nations. These Old Testament accounts point forward to the greater spiritual reality: Christ's redemptive work at Calvary, where He alone fought and conquered sin, death, and Satan, securing eternal salvation for His people. While believers are called to engage in spiritual warfare—fighting the good fight of faith, resisting the devil, mortifying the flesh, and striving against sin—these efforts are not to earn salvation but to reflect the reality of a victory already achieved. The believer's role is to stand still in faith, trusting in God's promises, and to see the salvation of the Lord through Scripture, personal experience, transformed lives, and the visible power of grace in the world, all of which testify to the finished work of Christ and call for continual praise and thanksgiving.
