Ephesians 6:11-12
Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
Jesus said that the world would hate His followers because we are not of this world. We could treat those who despise Jesus as enemies of our faith, but Christ’s battle wasn’t against people, and neither is yours. If anything, your mission should be to rescue the people who hate you, treating them with the love that Jesus had for you while you were still a sinner. In the end, your true enemies are sin and Satan, not the world he corrupted through deceit. Put on the full armor of God, which is truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, and the Holy Spirit. Resist sin, resist the devil, and fight for those who are lost.
