Spiritual warfare in the life of the Christian is a constant battle. We are never free from the battles that rage in our flesh, our mind, the world, or in the spiritual realm where Satan rules supreme as the power of darkness and sin. In God’s wisdom, He has made provision for the Christian to avoid many battles, to be victorious in those battles we must confront, and to live an effective, joyful life for Christ. That provision is the armor of God. In this book you will learn important facts about the sources of our battles and about each piece of armor. However, the story does not end with simply providing information. You will learn, from Scripture, how to put on the armor God has provided for you. Without wearing God’s armor, you leave your spiritual life exposed to temptations and battles, which you will needlessly have to fight. Putting on the whole armor of God will divert Satan’s attacks in order to continue serving God without being sidetracked from your primary mission of glorifying God. You will still face battles and temptations wearing your armor. The difference is that His armor will help you handle them in such a way that you grow through them instead of losing the battles and yielding to temptations.

The Armor of God, more than merely a biblical description of the believer's inventory, is an action plan for putting it on and developing a personalized strategy to secure victory.

“A battle manual for every Christian.” —Sinclair B. Ferguson The Christian life is a battle. We are in a daily struggle against the world, sin, and Satan. But God didn’t leave us to fend for ourselves. He gave us his own armor—armor that Jesus has already worn on our behalf all the way to the cross. The same power that raised Christ from the dead is now at work inside of us. This book unpacks each of the pieces of spiritual armor Paul describes in Ephesians 6, inviting us to take up the armor each day, all while resting in the finished victory of Christ and the assurance that our strength for the battle comes from him.

Destined to become the definitive commentary on Ephesians, this resource combines detailed exegesis and extensive interaction with contemporary scholarship.
