The Armor of God
DBS AoG #006
Ephesians 6:13
Today's Lesson:
Ephesians 6:13
"Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand"
The question arises as to why God allows the spiritual warfare (the angelic conflict) to continue. One reason is that in every generation, God permits Satan to use his genius to attack the Plan of God and the principle of Grace in the plan. Pressures are brought to bear on believers so that the divine provisions of Grace may be made manifest.
wherefore -- "because of". Refers to the previous statements regarding spiritual warfare against demons. Hence, "Because of Satan's organization and activities, take the whole armor of God..."
take -- imperative of analambano, "to take; to seize" with a prefix which adds the idea of repetition to the verb. We must "seize or take again and again" the armor of God. As an example, one piece of the armor is "truth" (verse 14). This piece of armor must be "put on" every day.
In any group of Christians there are two types, those who are "ready" and those who are "not ready". A uniform of armor must be taken up and put on whenever combat is anticipated. For the Christian, combat is continuous. The emphasis of this verb is "Don't get caught without your armor on!"
the whole armor of God -- panoplia. The hastati, the princeps, and the triarii all wore the same basic armor. In the following verses, the individual parts of the armor are described.
that ye may be able to stand --
The following passages of scripture provide excellent illustration of the concept of the Christian's "stand".
1 Cor. 15:57,58
Psa. 16:8; 21:7; 55:22; 125:1
