Welcome back to our series on your spiritual weapons— as we explore the armor of God, and what the purpose of each piece of the armor is and does.
In the last segment, we covered the shoes of peace, and as I was recording that episode, I realized that I skipped over the breastplate of righteousness; so my fault on these being a bit out of order that they are listed in the verse; and that order listed in Ephesians 6 is actually really smart, because the breastplate perfectly connects the belt of truth, with the shoes of peace because it speaks of our spiritual identity in Christ, our complete justification, and the spiritual defense that it offers to us. Let’s dive in!
Welcome back to part 2 of our study on fighting and winning your spiritual battles. In part one, we saw how the cross is not the end of Jesus’ work, and how we should proceed to receive everything that He paid to give us, including the indwelling of His Holy Spirit, and being seated with Him in authority and power.
Today we look at what tools we have at our disposal, specifically the armor of God. People may remember being taught about the amor of God in Sunday school as a fun little lesson. But far from a childish topic that most people forget about, the armor of God is a crucial aspect of spiritual battle, and important enough for God to go into detail about in the scripture.
