Armor of God

Welcome Everyone!

In this video, we delve into Ephesians 6:10-20, where Paul urges believers to put on the full armor of God. This passage provides a powerful metaphor for spiritual warfare, detailing how we can stand firm against the challenges and temptations of life. We'll explore each piece of armor and its significance in our daily battles, emphasizing how each relates to Jesus Christ and not on our own works:

Belt of Truth: Represents Jesus as the Truth, holding everything together.

Breastplate of Righteousness: Symbolizes Christ's righteousness, which protects our hearts.

Feet Fitted with the Readiness of the Gospel of Peace: Reflects the peace we have in Christ, enabling us to stand firm.

Shield of Faith: Our faith in Jesus helps us to extinguish the flaming arrows of doubt, fear, and temptation.

Helmet of Salvation: Protects our minds by reminding us of our salvation through Christ.

Sword of the Spirit: Represents the Word of God, which is empowered by the Spirit of Christ.

Paul used the metaphor of Roman armor because it was a familiar and powerful image for his audience. Roman soldiers were well-known for their discipline, strength, and effectiveness in battle. By comparing spiritual protection to Roman armor, Paul emphasized the importance of being fully prepared and equipped for spiritual warfare, just as soldiers were for physical battles. Importantly, this armor represents the protection and strength we receive from Jesus Christ, not from our own efforts.

Join us as we uncover the strategies to remain steadfast in faith and victorious in our spiritual journey.  Be sure to always check everything through the lens of the scriptures, and we hope to see you each week for worship, fellowship and a meal afterward! 

Until we meet again, lets go serve our King!
