Armed Part 2

“Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.”
- Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭14‬-‭15‬ ‭NIV

To ‘stand firm’ is not an option but a command for the Christ follower.

How do I stand firm? Put On:

Jesus is “the way, the truth, and the life”.
- John 14:6 NIV

The Lord put on righteousness as his breastplate…
- Isaiah 59:17 NIV

Jesus himself is our peace…
- Ephesians 2:14 NIV

Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
- ‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭5‬:‭8‬-‭9‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Today, stand firm in the faith through truth, righteousness, and peace.
