Title: Need it all
Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. – Ephesians 6:11
Can you imagine a naked guy running into a battlefield? Well, maybe you don’t want to imagine, but you get the idea. No armor and no weapons would be the worst battle strategies.
Paul tells us to ready ourselves for battle at the end of the letter to the Ephesians. He uses imagery that uses weapons and armor that cultivates deeper meanings than just something to fight with.
God calls us to use the weapons of truth, righteousness, the gospel of peace, faith, and salvation. When we fight against the enemy, we need all of these to battle! One of these alone is God enough, but we need it all.
Let us be men who are ready for battle. Let us fight with truth, righteousness, the gospel of peace, faith, and salvation.
Real men fight against the devil’s schemes.
