Previously I wrote about verses 10-12 of Ephesians Chapter 6. Now I am writing about verse 13: “Therefore take up the whole armor of God that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, having done all, to stand.”
First it is paramount that you pick up and put on the “whole armor of God.” God has issued you the outfit and equipped you with the weapons and tools that you’ll need to fight against your foes—but it’s your responsibility to wear them and use them!
Luke 12:48 – To whom much is given, much will be required.
This is a requirement…this is mandatory! It’s for our own PROTECTION.
Next let’s look at the word WITHSTAND: To vigorously oppose; bravely resist; stand face-to- face against an adversary; standing your ground.
