READING: EPHESIANS 6:10-18
There are some situations that are just plain hard to imagine. Think of a person completely preparing and stuffing a large turkey, and then roasting it for only 15 minutes. What about someone who does a great deal of reading, but only reads the first two chapters of each book? These scenarios are difficult to grasp because, to an extreme degree, they represent only partial completion. It is true, however, that there are Christians who consider themselves thoroughly protected from the devil and his servants by one week an hour in church. Others assume that their prayer of salvation alone is sufficient to thoroughly shelter them from the reach and influence of the enemy. The Bible verse above brings clarity that identifies these as dangerously mistaken behaviors. In order to be protected from the kingdom of darkness, partial measures will not do. Every Christian must put on the whole armor of God. It is only by using the whole armor that we will be able to stand against the wiles of the enemy. That’s a thought – about God’s Word.
RESPONSE
2. Is the armor put on once or more frequently?
