Put on the full armor of God

SUMMARY: The biblical portion of Ephesians 6:13-18 demands action from Christians. We must put on the full armor of God to resist the devil's attacks. Neglecting our spiritual life and ignoring the enemy will not make him go away. Christians must be prepared to face the devil and his strategies, and constantly act by using the weapons God has given us. We must also be careful not to wear the wrong armor, such as religious, intellectual, or works-based armor. The belt of truth represents the Gospel and ties together with the breastplate of justice, both of which are essential components of the armor of God.
The passage from Ephesians 6:10-18 discusses the armor of God that Christians must put on to fight the devil. The belt of truth represents the Gospel, the breastplate of justice protects the heart and vital organs, the shoes represent the preparation of the Gospel of peace, the shield of faith protects and advances the Christian, the helmet of salvation identifies the Christian as a good soldier of Christ, and the sword of the Spirit is the Word of God used to destroy the work of the enemy. Christians must wear the correct armor and be prepared to fight against the devil. The message encourages Christians to be aware of the spiritual reality and fight against the enemy with the tools and weapons provided by God.

It is surprising when we can constantly read the Word of the Lord, and many times we can read a quote and then we can read it again, and then we read it again, and we realize how the Lord is enriching each one of us with a Word. Probably the first time we don't even understand Pope, as some say, what will he say here, what will this mean, but as we understand it, we can be sure that the Lord's message to our spirit will be guaranteed for our understanding. So don't be discouraged if you read the Word of the Lord.
And I say this why, because we are going to read a biblical portion that is well known to all of us, and many times we do not give it any thought, until there is something that is happening around us, and this is no exception. I am reading this because some things have happened in these months, not only in my ministerial life but also in my Church, there in the city of Wolfang, and the Lord has refreshed me with simple words, or with words that were already widely read. and that sometimes you don't want to read because you think you are staying in the past, and then I realize that the Lord never passes away, heaven and earth will pass away but my Words will never pass away, can you tell your brother: the Word of the Lord never pass?.
