Armor

Ephesians 6:11 (NKJV)

Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

In 1965 Dupont created a synthetic fiber that was used in ropes and hopefully would replace steel belting in tires. However thefact that kevlar was pound for pound 5 times stronger than steel soon made it ideal fabric for modern body armor. Armor was developed very early in human history as a way to protect our most vital organs from the enemy's attack. It should go without saying that the only good armor is the one that is worn. For a soldier to go into battle owning armor does not do him any good unless he puts it on. As believers we know that we are in a constant battle for our minds with the devil and that our greatest defense is to put on the whole armor of God. This week we will focus on that armor as we prepare for this Sunday's message on the armor.
