The Full Armor of God
“Walking to Battle”
Focus: God provides believers with all the resources needed to live Christlike lives
Study Passage - Ephesians 6:10-20
Christian Warfare
10 Finally, be strengthened by the Lord and by his vast strength. 11 Put on the full armor of God so that you can stand against the schemes of the devil. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this darkness, against evil, spiritual forces in the heavens. 13 For this reason take up the full armor of God, so that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having prepared everything, to take your stand. 14 Stand, therefore, with truth like a belt around your waist, righteousness like armor on your chest, 15 and your feet sandaled with readiness for the gospel of peace. 16 In every situation take up the shield of faith with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit—which is the word of God. 18 Pray at all times in the Spirit with every prayer and request, and stay alert with all perseverance and intercession for all the saints. 19 Pray also for me, that the message may be given to me when I open my mouth to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel. 20 For this I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I might be bold enough to speak about it as I should.
Was there a time in your life when you repented of your sin and asked Jesus to save you?
Were there changes in your life after you made that commitment?
Ask yourself, “Are there changes that need to take place now in my walk with Jesus?”
Are you a casual Christian or Fully committed Christ follower?
The sanctification process is falling more in love with Jesus everyday
SALVATION IS FREE BUT SANCTIFICATION TAKES A LIFETIME AND IS HARD
Where does our strength come from? (The Lord)
1. How is God’s strength described in verse 10? (Vast strength)
a. 1 John 4:4 - You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.
2. Why should we put on the Full Armor of God? (So we can stand against the schemes of the devil-THIS IS THE 1ST TIME PAUL STATES THIS)
3. What are these schemes? (anything to make us ineffective in our walk with Jesus)
4. What are some examples of the devil’s schemes? (group discussion)
5. According to verse 12, what is our struggle against? (Not people “flesh and blood”, but demonic forces under the direction of Satan)
It doesn’t mean Satan won’t use people, but that Satan is the source of our struggle
6. Paul tells us a second time to “take up the Full Armor of God”.
a. Why does Paul tell us again? (This is of utmost importance in the Christian life)
b. How much of the armor should we put on? Why?
c. What reasons does verse 13 give us? (so that I can resist the devil and HAVING PREPARED EVERYTHING to take a stand!)
