Christian Armor: Truthfulness and Righteousness
Whether we recognize it or not we are locked in a cosmic battle with eternal consequences. We have a powerful, crafty and dedicated enemy who hates us and is working against us. The point of our passage is that though it will not be easy to live the Christian life God has made available to use all the resources that we need to defeat the enemy's attempts.

Standing Against the Schemes of the Devil (Ephesians 6 10-20) 10-11-09
In contrast to popular ideas on spiritual warfare, the Bible teaches us that our main response to the Devil is not offensive, but defensive; we are called to resist him as we live, in word and deed, in light of Jesus' victory on the cross.

Entering the Combat Zone
You have answered the call to arms and been inducted in God's army. You have studied about enemy strategy and territory. You learned about God's battle plan and been armed with defensive and offensive weapons. With this lesson, you actually enter the combat zone and begin to fight! This chapter is the first in a series which focus on Satan's strategies and Scriptural counterstrategies for overcoming his deceptive tactics. "Strategies" are the science of forming and carrying out military operations. They are the methods or plans which lead to victory.

Armed and Engaged
Every Christ-follower is enlisted in God's "army" and engaged in the battle. It's a spiritual battle, not a physical one. We need to know our Commander's battle plan, and we need to know our enemy (the world, the flesh, and the devil). But if we don't also know and put on the "armour" that God has supplied each of us, we may shrink back in fear of personal harm or we may charge in without the protections and weaponry we need. Ross Wilson explains the battle we're in and the armour we have been issued with, and encourages every Christ-follower to be both armed and engaged.
