• Enlisting in God's Army

      chapter 2

      @The topic explain the Christian teaching on repentance and conversion as essential steps in salvation and entry into the Kingdom of God. Repentance is defined as an inner change of mind and decision that leads to an outward turning away from sin and toward God. It is not merely feeling sorry or shedding tears for sin, but a genuine desire to change one’s life, which is considered a gift and command from God. Repentance involves denying allegiance to sin, the world, and the kingdom of Satan in order to enlist in “God’s army.”

      Conversion is closely connected to repentance and involves a clear turning from darkness to light, from wrong to right, and from the power of Satan to God. The story of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15) illustrates both repentance and conversion, showing a change of heart followed by decisive action. These processes lead to justification and salvation, restoring a right relationship with God. The topic also emphasize spiritual warfare, where believers participate in God’s kingdom, empowered to overcome evil and live transformed lives.The devil is always those that do the will of God.He wages war against them and therefore Christians should live knowing that we are wrestling against principalities and powers of satan and his demons.When we wage war we overcome evil by scriptural knowledge and the blood of Jesus who died on the cross to redeem man from sin.Brian said that for sure there are two kingdoms the kingdom of God and the kingdom of the devil .You can only be in one of them but not both as a Christian
