The Christian life is a warfare, a struggle, a fight of faith. Every
Christian is called to be a soldier. Hence, he is not meant to live a
life of religious ease, indolence, or security. The hosts of Satan are
committed to hindering and obstructing the work of Christ and to knock
the soldier out of combat. The more effective a believer is for the
Lord, the more he will experience the savage attacks of the enemy. His
success depends entirely on believing.
