PUTTING ON THE FULL ARMOR OF GOD

PUTTING ON THE FULL ARMOR OF GOD It is A TOUGH WORLD That we live in A world full of danger It seems Like someone or something Is constantly shooting daggers at us In the old days The knight Would put on The metal or steel armor To PROTECT HIM And in today's world I believe the policemen STILL put on bullet-proof vests But for us Christians To protect us from evil In this cruel cruel world We are called to put on A DIFFERENT KIND of armor THE ARMOR OF GOD “Put on The full armor of God So that You can take your stand Against the devil's schemes” Ephesians 6:10 There you have it The armor that we need IS ARMOR That can stand up NOT only against flesh and blood evil But the dark forces of evil In our world-Satan “For our struggle Is not against Flesh and blood But against the rulers Against the authorities Against the powers Of this dark world-Satan And against the spiritual forces Of evil In the heavenly realms Therefore PUT ON the full armor of God So that When the day of evil comes You may be able To STAND your ground” Ephesians 6:12-13 You say fine But WHAT is it That can Withstand ALL of these things The armor IS LOVE My friend THE LOVE OF GOD And THE LOVE OF NEIGHBOR For as 1 Corinthians 13:8 tells us LOVE NEVER FAILS And James 1:17 says: EVERY GOOD AND PERFECT GIFT Is from ABOVE And that is what Jesus' life was IT WAS PERFECT As He DEFEATED every injustice imaginable INCLUDING humiliation and death So our job Is to UNITE our life With Jesus=as much as possible And HOLD ON For the ride of our life JESUS left behind HIS OWN spirit for us And in Galatians 5:22 Paul tells us WHAT the fruit Of the spirit is: “But the fruit of the spirit IS love, joy, peace, patience, kindness Goodness, faithfulness,gentleness,and self-control AGAINST such things-there is NO LAW” Galatians 5:22-23 I suggest to you That LIVING with these qualities is PUTTING ON THE FULL ARMOR OF GOD And if you WEAR these You have NO NEED Of steel armor Or bullet-proof vests If you put these on You are putting on THE FULL ARMOR OF GOD And if you do this Evil will not defeat you And if it does You will be vindicated AS SURELY AS JESUS HIMSELF WAS Robert P.
