Have you heard of the U.S. Army Ranger Creed? Here’s part of what it declares: “Surrender is not a Ranger word. I will never leave a fallen comrade to fall into the hands of the enemy and under no circumstances will I ever embarrass my country”. This is the creed that Paris Davis honored that made him a recipient of the Medal of Honor.
From a spiritual perspective…Billions of men, women and children have lived and died without ever knowing the true God or His way of life. What happens to them? Are they condemned to an eternity of suffering in hellfire? Or does God have a plan in which no one is left behind?
United Church of God Family Bible Study Series on the Armor of God.
Downloadable Free pdf files bases on the admonition the Apostle Paul gave the Ephesian church
Ephesians 6:10-13 New Living Translation – 10 A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. 12 For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm.
