Just as we need the righteousness of Jesus to enter into God’s Heaven, we need His power to defeat the battles Satan throws at us.
Ephesians 6:10-11 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
God has provided equipment for us to wear in the day of our battles, Ephesians 6:14-18. There is “truth” to wear as a belt—“righteousness” to protect the heart—“shoes” to protect the feet—a “shield” to deflect the arrows of the enemy—a “helmet” to protect the head—a “sword” to use to engage the enemy.
All of this has been provided to every believer so that we might walk in victory.
When we are saved, we are made one with Jesus. Thus, His life becomes our life. His truth becomes our truth. His way becomes our way. His power becomes our power. His strength becomes our strength. Always wear your armour.
