Doct. The life of a Christian is a warfare, 2 Tim. 2. •. 1 Tim. 1.18. Christians are called soldiers, and their life, a fight and battle, 2 Tim. 4.7 Those that oppose against us, are called enemies, Luk. 1.71, 74. Their tentations are called assaults and fights, as here, and 1 Pet. 2.11. And hence is the distinction of militant and triumphant Church.
