The Battle Rages

by Stan Baldwin

Overview

Invisible, cosmic spiritual battles rage hard. The weapons of human effort have no chance against the devil's schemes. But with the power and armor of God, we have a huge advantage over the devil's forces. In Jesus Christ, you become part of the best-equipped spiritual fighting force anywhere. It's not enough for such armor and weapons to be available, however. You must put them on and use them.

Scripture says, "Put on the whole armor of God"—not just armor that God gives but armor that God himself wears. The Old Testament says of the Lord, "He put on righteousness as his breastplate, and the helmet of salvation on his head" (Isaiah 59:17). The New Testament tells us to put on "the breastplate of righteousness" and "the helmet of salvation." The armor the Lord wears, we must wear. The weapons the Lord uses, we must use. The mighty power of God must be our power. The divine strength that defended the Lord Jesus from the devil's temptations and enabled Jesus to conquer sin and death must be our strength.
