The Christian’s Armor: Gospel Shoes & Gospel Peace

In Ephesians 6:15 Paul continues to describe the Christian’s armor. We learn that the gospel produces in us a readiness for battle. Jesus Christ proclaimed in the gospel provides us peace with God. He has become our peace. As Christian’s we also experience peace from God. Both of these aspects of peace equip us for battle. The gospel also produces in us a readiness to preach peace to a world that desperately needs it.

The Christian’s Armor: Truth and Righteousness

In Ephesians 6:14 Paul begins introducing pieces of the Christian’s Armor. Christians need to be grounded in Christ, who is the truth, and all of His Word. He is the source of all truth and Satan is constantly trying to deceive us. They also need the righteousness of Christ to protect them from Satan’s accusations. This righteousness also works itself out in a life of righteousness in the Christian.

Christ Our Hope in Battle

In Ephesians 6:10-13 Paul begins to bring the letter to a close with various exhortations. We first learn that we are weak. This is why we need to rely on the Lord’s strength. Then Paul shows us what Christians are up against – the forces of hell. No one stands a chance in the spiritual battle in their own strength. Thankfully, we can stand firm in Christ.

The Sword of the Spirit

Without the Spirit of God enabling us to understand it, the Word of God will remain just like any other book we read, or voice we hear. But with Him leading us, the Word becomes light, power, and life.

Battle Gear

Jesus is the source of truth and righteousness for the believer. To put on the belt and the breastplate is to put on Him.
