To Be Strong in the Lord

Whenever any of God's people get serious about having a greater obedience to God's word, whenever they become more zealous for the forward progress of Christ's kingdom, and whenever they actually begin to reach out to the unsaved people around them, there always comes opposition from the Devil. We as a local church must come to better understand how we can arm ourselves for the spiritual battle that is already upon us, as we follow Christ, and preach Christ. In looking at the 10th verse we find that Paul gives 2 exhortations to the believers at Ephesus and to us as well.
The 1st Exhortation – "Be strong in the Lord."
And the 2nd is – Paul tells us to be Strong in the Lord's mighty power.
