Soldiers of Christ, Arise

Soldiers of Christ, Arise is an 18th-century English hymn. "Soldiers of Christ, arise, and put your armour on" refers to the armour of God in Ephesians 6:10–18.Wesley initially wrote the hymn to defend against criticism of Methodism in the United Kingdom. During their evangelical careers, both Charles Wesley and his brother John Wesley received physical abuse because of them. As a result, this hymn was written because of the military references and the apparent call to arms when it was set to music.

It was a hard time during their time battling from belief to belief against the ads in the society, the government and morality. When people are place in a certain situation where in he has nowhere to run, its either he will surrender, to just fight up to the last breath. What I mean it that each one of us right now are facing different situation that pushes us to our limitation. And all of it, we intend to fight for us to be victorious. Yet, our fight isn’t really our fight but we have God whom we can lean on.

I have seen also my life battling against problems. I sometimes have the tendency to quit yet God has always encourages me to trust in Him. We see people around walking straight yet deep inside each one has battle that they have been facing. In any way, we have God whom we can rely on. We have Christ whom we can trust on. That the message se are to tell people, that we have God, our Lord Jesus Christ whom we can trust. And when people realize that it’s true they will come into repentance.

I have seen very wonderful attitude every Christian must have; that’s prayer. God has been always there for us. He is willing to help us. No matter who we are, and what we are, God will forgive us as we can humbly before Him. Let’s surrender fully our lives to God.
