10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the [b]wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of [c]the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints.
Ephesians 6:10-18
Q & A：
- What did you think about Pastor Olof’s point that the armour of God is actually a parable about Jesus Christ? Does this interpretation make you read the text differently than before? （Eph 6:10-18）
- Which part of the armour of God is the most important for you? And which one do you find the most challenging to apply in your life and why?（Joh 14:6; Rom 8:1; Rom16:20; Gen 15:1; Isa 59:14-16; Heb 4:12）
- In what way can the words in Isaiah 59:14–17 challenge you to act and engage in the “good fight”? (Isaiah 59:14–17)
