THE ARMOR OF GOD

“Put on the full armor of God, that you may be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.” Ephesians 6:11 We Christians, are involved in a constant battlefield where we fight against the opposing evil spirit. Jesus Christ defeated Satan completely on the cross and through His resurrection. We as representatives of Christ, have the responsibility to demonstrate the victory which Jesus has already won. As we live in this evil dominating world, we are in this life-and-death struggle with evil forces; hence it is necessary for us to put on the full armor of God to overcome this world. We needn’t be scared or discouraged of the devil’s devices and his power; we are not alone in this battle. Our God the Sovereign, is with us and He helps us overcome. Paul in the same chapter writes again, “Therefore, take up the full armor of God, that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having...

In Titus 3:4 we read, “ But when the goodness and loving kindnes...

“A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. So then, by their fruit you will recognize them...” Matthew 7:18-20 Fruit, which is a common metaphor in both Old and New Testaments, represent the outward manifestation of a person’s faith, thus their behavior and their works. Also fruit is the direct result of whatever controls our heart; as a good tree cannot produce bad fruits. True fruitfulness begins in the heart with the fruit of the Spirit. That inner fruit affects our outward actions. Our God desires us to be fruitful yielding good fruits, thus reflecting His image in this world. Being fruitful is the core of Christian living. When the Holy Spirit dwells in us, His attributes are evident in our lives. If our actions and deeds does not ...
