Bible Study - Ephesians 6:10-20
- Read Ephesians 6:10-20
- What a powerful message: Put on the Armour of God. The protection
for a believing Christian is like a soldier wearing armour for
protection in war. We put on the Armour of God so we can stand fast in
our faith, fully protected from the evil forces of darkness.
- We put on the belt of truth around our waist, the breastplate of
righteousness and take up the sword of faith, which is the word of God,
as we put on the helmet of salvation.
- Our feet fitted with readiness that comes from the Gospel of
peace.
- Now as we stand firm in our faith so well protected, we are ready
for action. We can pray in the Spirit, on all occasions, with all kinds
of prayers and requests. We are instructed in verse 18 to keep on
praying for all the saints. Who are the saints? I believe the saints
are all who have died and gone before us in faith, firmly believing in
God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
- As this is the concluding reading of this series of studies, please
re-read this passage slowly and deliberately, letting it speak to you
personally.
- To think about
- 1. What is this passage asking me to do?
- 2. Do I want to carry out the instructions given to me in verse
18.?
- Prayer
- Lord help me to live my life as a practising Christian, standing
firm in my faith, wearing the whole armour of God in spirit and in
truth, praying all kinds of prayer, and making my requests known to
you. May I grow day by day stronger in faith, in the knowledge of your
unending love for me. Amen

-
Soldiers of Christ arise and put your armour on
Strong in the strength, which God supplies
through his eternal Son.
