Spiritual warfare is carried out in the real world through the conflict of ideas. There are two peoples in the conflict: those who bear God’s seal and those who do not. “For the LORD’s portion is his people” (Deut. 32:9; Matt. 16:18; Isa. 8:16, 17).
There are two principles involved in this conflict: the wisdom of God and the wisdom of this world (Isa. 8:20). God’s law was given to humans as a blessing, informing them of God’s nature and expectations. God’s law is not for salvation, but for life (Lev. 18:5; Gal. 3:12). The characteristic of godless society is lawlessness (Matt. 24:12; 2 Thess. 2:3, 7–9). The wages of lawlessness is death (Rom. 2:23; 1 John 3:4–8).
There are two agendas in this conflict: Satan’s kingdom and Christ’s. Only Christ’s will prevail. The pattern of this conflict is revealed in Job. God permitted Satan to cause Job to suffer in order to attest to the truth of Job’s sealing as God’s own portion. Job won the conflict by seeing the God he owned and trusted—“I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you” (Job 42:5).
