Exploring Christ's Kingly Ministry and Reign over Believers' Enemies

Trusting in Christ leads to a deepening relationship where hidden sin and resistance are uncovered for Christ to rule over every aspect of believers' lives. As sons of God, there is continuous growth, challenges to overcome, and ways to serve Him. Christ's lordship is constant but involves ongoing submission and challenges. His Kingly ministry is both challenging and comforting as He defends, restrains, and conquers believers' enemies - the world, the flesh, and the devil. By setting our minds on Christ, who is seated at God's right hand, we can overcome feeling dominated by the world, paralyzed by sin, or captive to the devil. Christ, who reigns over his and believers' enemies, promises victory and is exalted above all.
