THIS MEANS WAR
“The Battle Gear”
Ephesians 6:10-18
Introduction: As already stated we need to be aware and alert that we are in a battle for our soul. We war against the enemy, the world, and our flesh. These must be fought with the weapons given to us by God. (Ephesians 6:10-13) (Galatians 5:16-17) (2 Corinthians 10:3-4)
The Belt of Truth (Ephesians 6:14a)
- Know the Total Truth of God’s Word
- Live the Total Truth of God’s Word
- Declare the Total Truth of God’s Word
Bottom Line: Be committed to the truth of God’s Word (Psalms 51:6)
The Breastplate of Righteousness (Ephesians 6:14b)
- Imputed Righteousness—to ascribe something (namely Jesus’ righteousness) to someone who is not capable of living the standard of God’s righteousness (2 Corinthians 5:21)
- Imparted Righteousness—to give something (namely the power) to someone to enable them to overcome their flesh and sin (John 1:12)
The Shoes of the Gospel of Peace (Ephesians 6:15)
- Walk in good works (Ephesians 2:10)
- Walk worthy of your calling (Ephesians 4:1)
- Walk differently than the world (Ephesians 4:17)
- Walk in love (Ephesians 5:2)
- Walk in the light (Ephesians 5:8)
- Walk circumspectly (Ephesians 5:15)
The Shield of Faith (Ephesians 6:16) (Hebrews 11:6)
Watch For Fiery Darts:
- Doubt (1 Thessalonians 5:24)
- Fear (Psalm 23:4)
- Temptation (1 Corinthians 10:13)
The Helmet of Salvation (Ephesians 6:17a)
- Past—security (justification) (Romans 5:1)
- Present—power (sanctification) (2 Thessalonians 2:13)
- Future—victory (glorification) (1 Peter 1:3-5)
The Sword of the Spirit (Ephesians 6:17b)
- Logos—the total revelation of God to a general audience
- Rhema—the specific revelation of God to an individual or group (Acts 10:36-37)
Footnote: (Ephesians 6:18) Even though the weapons are mighty; communication is essential to the soldier.
Application: To Be Successful In The War, We Must:
--Analyze Our Enemy
--Utilize Our Weaponry
--Realize Our Victory
(Romans 8:37)
