Enemies --> love

Lesson 1 of 8 

The Armor of God

Ephesians 6:10-18

When we get saved our sins are washed away and we become "soldiers of the cross". We must always remember every army fights battles and every soldier faces an enemy. Since Satan no longer possesses our soul, he seeks to destroy our influence and effectiveness for Christ.  Our armor allows us to "stand" against his attacks.  Each piece is essential. Many Christians become casualties of war simply because they do not use God's armor.  We will learn about God's armor and how to use it effectively in the weeks to come.  We must never forget we are in a battle!

Pastor Enfinger
