“Therefore take up the whole armor of God”
– Ephesians 6:13 –
The warfare we wage against the adversary is spiritual in nature. We therefore need spiritual weapons and defenses in order to fight. God in Christ has supplied us with such:
Truth
Righteousness
Preparation of the Gospel of Peace
Faith
Salvation
The word of God
Each of these are critical in our battle against Satan. We cannot expect success if we leave anything out. The Holy Spirit revealed that we must put on the WHOLE armor of God. Why?
“That you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.”
