Ephesians 6:10-17

When we think about what it means to be a follower of Christ, a multitude of interpretations can come to mind. We can think about serving the Lord, Loving Him supremely and loving our neighbors. We might think about sharing the Gospel and making disciples. We may think about caring for our families- our spouses and our children. What often escapes our thoughts is the Truth that all of this is happening in the context of a spiritual battle. The reality is that the Devil opposes every good work that the Lord has called His people to participate in. However, rather than be tempted to fear, anxiety and despair, by looking to Jesus, we find that the Lord in Christ has given us both the power and means of grace necessary to enter into this spiritual fight. As His followers, by being aware of this spiritual battle and equipped with the armor of God, we can experience victory.
