Ephesians 6:10-24

Paul exhorts the Ephesians and us to stand firm by God’s strength in God’s armor in the midst of spiritual warfare. The critical battle has already been won! There’s just a mop up operation going on. He is Lord. We are in him. The emphasis is not on us memorizing each piece and “praying it on.” It’s about putting on the characteristics and virtues that are ours through our union with Jesus Christ. We are to put on Christ, which simply means as in Ephesians 4:24, recognize who you are in Christ, and live consistently with that identity with the spiritual resources that are yours. We keep our armor on, until our King returns. Then, we will fall down before him, the one who has loved us with an everlasting love, and we will put our weapons down because the war will be over.
Prayin for you guys!!!
