As we continue our series from Ephesians 6, the Apostle Paul commands believers to “stand therefore” in God’s armor: the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, and feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace. Above all, as we learn in this lesson, we are to take the shield of faith to quench all the enemy’s fiery darts, and the helmet of salvation to guard our minds against attacks, while keeping the hope of salvation and the gospel for the lost at the forefront. This practical armor—which is really putting on the Lord Jesus Christ—enables us to stand firm against Satan’s schemes without turning and running.
