The battlefield of the Christian life is in the mind. If we don’t fill it with God’s Word—rightly divided—the enemy will flood it with stress, anxiety, negativity, and temptation. In this dispensation of grace, the believer must guard his thinking, not by law or ritual, but by Paul’s gospel and the sound doctrine of grace.
