看不見的爭戰——病毒、信心與復活的盼望（2）| The Unseen Battle – Viruses, Faith, and the Hope of Resurrection (2)

強風和降雨並不是我們面對的唯一無形力量。病毒也是如此，它們看不見卻極具威力，能夠悄無聲息地傳播，引發疾病和混亂。正如我們通過疫苗、口罩和衛生習慣來保護自己的身體一樣，我們也必須防備看不見的屬靈威脅。

聖經告訴我們，我們的爭戰不僅是對抗有形的力量，更是對抗「天空屬靈氣的惡魔」（以弗所書 6:12）。撒但雖然看不見，卻是真實的。他在地上遊行，尋找可吞吃的人（約翰福音 10:10）。但我們有強大的防禦武器：神的話語。當耶穌在曠野受試探時，祂用聖經的話抵擋撒但的謊言，向我們展示了神真理的力量。

然而，並非所有看不見的力量都是破壞性的。神的愛雖然看不見，卻是宇宙中最強大的力量。正是這愛讓耶穌來到世上，祂活著、死去並復活。祂的復活是神無形大能的最終證明——這大能勝過了死亡，並賜給我們永生的盼望。

作為信徒，我們活在「被提」的盼望中，那時耶穌將再來，聚集祂的子民。正如門徒們看見復活的基督以榮耀的身體顯現，我們也將有一天親眼見到祂。這盼望不僅是一個遙遠的夢想，更是一個由全能神的力量所支持的應許。

因此，當我們面對世上看不見的力量——無論是風暴、病毒還是屬靈爭戰——讓我們持守信心，信靠那看不見卻愛你的神，用神的盔甲對抗看不見的仇敵，並期待那日，每個人都將親眼看見祂。

The Unseen Battle – Viruses, Faith, and the Hope of Resurrection (2)

Strong winds and rain aren’t the only invisible forces we face. Viruses, too, are unseen yet incredibly powerful. They can spread silently, causing illness and disruption. Just as we protect ourselves physically—through vaccines, masks, and hygiene—we must also guard our spirits against unseen spiritual threats.

The Bible tells us that our battle isn’t just against physical forces but against “the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms” (Ephesians 6:12). Satan, though invisible, is real. He roams the earth, seeking to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). But we have a powerful defense: the Word of God. When Jesus was tempted in the wilderness, He countered Satan’s lies with Scripture, showing us the power of God’s truth.

Hebrews 11:1 (NLT) puts it this way: "Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see." This verse reminds us that faith isn’t blind—it’s based on the confidence that God’s promises are true, even when we can’t see the full picture.

Saint Augustine once said, "Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe." This is the hope we have as believers. Though we can’t see God, we see His handiwork in the world around us. And one day, we will see Him face to face, just as the disciples saw the resurrected Christ in His glorified body.

So, as we face the invisible forces of this world—whether storms, viruses, or spiritual battles—let’s hold fast to our faith. Trust in the unseen God who loves you, fight the unseen enemy with the armor of God, and look forward to the day when every eye will see Him.
