Sin, to one who loves God, is nothing other than an arrow from the enemy in battle.
The true Christian is a warrior fighting his way through the regiments of the unseen enemy to his heavenly homeland.
According to the word of the Apostle, our homeland is in heaven; and about the warrior he says: we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places (Eph.6: 12)].
