His fight..and our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
We are called to stand and resist the devil..I have not found anywhere in the Bible where a Christian is called to fight any person...we are even called to love those who persecute us. He gave us weapons...most of them for defense...with the exception of the WORD of God...his sword...our sword..the only offensive weapon in our arsenal.
When he said on the cross...”it is finished”..it meant that he completed the task...we have no need to fight..we just have to stand on the victory that is already won. When Jesus was tempted by the devil...he used only one weapon against him..the TRUTH of God’s word. Jesus is our example.
Jesus did not fight the Jews on Calvary..he defeated DEATH so that the doors of heaven could opened back up for fallen man. He did however expose the hearts of unscrupulous men and used the Word of God to bring truth into the situation. He never struck anyone in violence....He came for the Pharisees and the tax collectors alike. He shed his blood on the cross for our sin..YOUR sin as well. Not only because the Jews were selling stuff in the temple.
