7.Y TBE EEGIOXS BEYOND 219 says, ''Unto yon it is given in tlie behalf of Christ, not only to believe on Him, bnt also to suffer for His sake; having the same conflict which ye saw in me.'' Yet such was their steadfastness in the faith that he declares, "I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy, for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now. ' ' ' Terrible is the struggle that takes place between the forces of good and of evil in important centers where the messengers of truth are called upon to labor. ''AVe wrestle not against flesh and blood," declares Paul, ''but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world."" Till the close of time, there will be a conflict between the church of God and those who are under the control of evil angels. The early Christians were often called to meet the powers of darkness face to face. By sophistry and by persecution the enemy endeavored to turn them from the true faith. At the present time, when the end of all things earthly is rapidly approaching, Satan is putting forth desperate efforts to ensnare the world. He is devising many plans to occupy minds, and to divert attention from the truths essential to salvation. In every city his agencies are busily organizing into parties those who are opposed to the law of God. The arch-deceiver is at work to introduce elements of confusion and rebellion, and men are being fired with a zeal that is not according to knowledge. ^PMl. 1:29,30,3-5. = Eph. 6:12.
