"Un verdadero y fiel cristiano no hace de la vida santa algo accidental. Es su gran preocupación, como el negocio del soldado es luchar. El verdadero cristiano es un soldado de Cristo, y considera su deber ineludible luchar contra los enemigos de su alma, e"
— Jonathan Edwards
Simplified Meaning:
Living a good and holy life isn't something a sincere Christian does by chance; it’s something they focus on purposefully. Imagine a soldier whose main job is to fight. Just like that soldier is always ready for battle and takes his duties seriously, a devoted Christian sees it as their main responsibility to live righteously and resist temptations. This means constantly being aware of things that can lead them away from their faith, like bad influences in the world, personal desires that aren't good for them, and harmful actions. For example, if someone offers them to do something wrong, such as lying or being selfish, they understand it's their job to resist and choose the right path. By being vigilant and intentional about their actions, they aim to stay true to their beliefs and live according to their faith every day.
