A Word

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can make your stand against the devil’s schemes.

Ephesians 6:10–11BSB

What it means

The Christian life involves a real opponent, and the strength to stand is God’s own. We are not told to attack but to be clothed by Him and to stand.

The close of Paul’s letter to the Ephesians, written from prison. Having described the church as one new humanity in Christ, he now describes the resistance that new life will meet.

Where it addresses you

  • You feel worn down by a temptation that keeps returning.

  • You sense opposition to what God is doing in your life.
