Blessings dear community @ChristianFellowship, it is nice to be here, the peace of God be with everyone.
Have you ever missed something important in your life by not defending?
2 Samuel 23: 11-12
After this was Sama the son of Age, ararita. The Philistines had gathered in Lehi, where there was a small field full of lentils, and the people had fled before the Philistines.12 He then stood in the middle of that field and defended it, and killed the Philistines; and Jehovah gave a great victory.
Chapter 23 of the second book of Samuel records the names and some works of David's mighty men. Among these accomplishments, the Holy Spirit inspired the writer to record the courage of Sama in defending his field of lentils. Sama's attitude teaches us about the need to also defend what God has given us.
03 LESSONS ON THE NEED TO DEFEND WHAT GOD GAVE US
LESSON 1: The devil will always try to steal the things that are most valuable to us. v.11 ... the Philistines met at Lehi, where there was a piece of land full of lentils ... -
The text says that the Philistines (symbolizing the kingdom of evil), met where there was a land full of lentils. We must always be vigilant, because the devil will always attack the blessings that God has given us. That is why it is necessary that we are always vigilant so that the attacks of the devil do not catch us off guard.
2nd LESSON: The responsibility to defend what God has given us is ours. v.11b ... the people fled from the Philistines ...
Many people place the blame for their losses and sufferings on people and even on the government. But we learn from the text that the responsibility to defend what God has given us is ours. If Samá had had the same attitude as people, he would have lost everything. The people fled, but Samá stood firm defending what God gave them.
LESSON 3: Samá risked his life to defend what God had given him. V. 12 ... but Samá stood in the middle of that terrain and defended it ...
Samá risked her own life to defend what God had given her. Samá's attitude reveals that he valued what God gave him. The devil has prevailed over many people, because they simply accept the attacks of the enemy. In James 4: 7 it is written: ... Submit yourselves to God, resist the Devil, and he will flee from you.
The text of 2 Sam 23:12 ends by saying: ... and the Lord forged a great deliverance ... God honored Sama's position. He could have run away with the crowd, but he decided to fight, to defend what God gave him. That from today we can have the same attitude as Samá and defend everything that God has given us.
We don't have to defend what God us. That's not in the Bible.

I understand that you always maintain the attitude of defending biblical doctrine, however I have noticed that you argue without any biblical foundation, within the biblical context on which I based my publication I hinted in the old testament about a man who had a different attitude to that from others, He defended at all costs what God had promised him. Is it wrong to take an attitude of defending what God gave us? Didn't the Apostle Paul say, “Take care of your salvation with fear and trembling? Good biblical principles must be defended with a humble attitude.
Greetings and blessings friend @barncat
