The Foe Who Schemes

Ephesians 6:10-12

About the Sermon

The previous sermon saw Paul’s words to the Ephesian believers echoed in Isaiah 59. There God rouses Himself for war, arms Himself for battle, and brings deliverance to His people. However, we know that evil has not yet been fully eradicated from our world or from us. Paul knows it too. He warns us that there is still a lion on the loose—a roaring lion who wants to devour.

About the Series

The Armor of God carries a double meaning. Most people think that this is the armor which God gives to us to resist the devil, which is true. However, the other (primary) meaning is that this is actually God’s armor which He wore to fight for and win our salvation. Because of our union with Christ, we as His people are now clothed in His armor, strengthened with His might, protected by His power, and carried by His Spirit to resist the schemes of our adversary.
