The Grand Weapon of the Christian Soldier

March 21, 2010 by Christina

“It is true of [many] who are engaged in the Christian warfare, that they are distrustful of their own weapons. For a soldier, there could hardly be a more unfortunate prepossession. His blows must be half-delivered, and his disposition to parley or to flee, exceedingly subversive of bold fighting. The grand weapon of the Christian soldier is…’the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.’ This is the great instrument of assault against the world…The truth of God…is the name of our whole offensive armor. This truth…is precisely what the Captain of Salvation has put into our hands, to be used against the adversary. It is a firm confidence in the temper, strength, and edge of these weapons, which makes the brave combatant.”

J. W. Alexander from his sermon, “Distrust of the Word”  (page 110, The Living Pulpit, Rev Wilson Elijah)
