Spiritual Armor—Part 1
It is unthinkable! No one would do it! No one in his right mind would leave the house for the day naked. Not only does it break social convention, but it leaves you unprotected from the elements.
Everyday, however, Christians leave their homes unprotected from the spiritual elements they will face. And as surely as we are naked without our clothes, we are just as naked for spiritual combat without our armor. The armor of God is something we put on and keep on, because every day is a day of spiritual conflict. The unprotected are victimized or wounded.
The assault of the devil is unrelenting, cunning, and constantly searching for any place in our defenses that is uncovered. Whether to cause us to doubt God’s love for us, or compromise our integrity, or confuse us with doctrines of lies and half truths, our only defense is to dress for battle every day. Girded with truth, covered by righteousness, shielded by faith, and transformed by salvation, we are ready to face the day.
