As Christians we claim victory over sin through Christ’s blood. However, many Christians live in a state of defeat. They act as if they have been or are being defeated by the forces of evil. They take the armor of God in a mindset of defense rather than conquering offense. They sing, “A mighty fortress is our Church”.
This defeatist mindset should not be that of the Christian. He should see it as his duty to gain victory over the forces of sin in society. It is his duty to reform himself and subsequently those around him for the glory of Christ.
