The whole armor of God consists of six pieces.

 


Ephesians 6:14-24 KJV

 

Verses 14-17: The whole armor of God consists of six pieces.

1. “Truth” (verse 14a), is a knowledge of the truth of God’s Word (4:21). The ancient soldiers “loins” (“waist”), were “girt about” with a leather belt which held most of the other pieces of his armor in place. Similarly, the other pieces of the Christian’s armor depend on, and are held in place by, his spiritual “belt” or his knowledge of the “truth” of Scripture.

2. “The breastplate of righteousness (verse 14b), may be read “the breastplate which is righteousness.” It represents a holy character and moral conduct. Obedience to the “truth” known produces a godly life (“righteousness”).

3. “Preparation of the gospel of peace” (verse 15), means “eagerness that comes from the gospel of peace.” That is, as the Roman soldier wore special shoes called caligae on his feet, enabling him to advance against his enemy, so the Christian must have on his feet (possess), as sense of “eagerness” or “willingness” to advance against the Devil and take the fight to him. Such “eagerness” to contend with Satan “comes from the gospel of peace.” The gospel gives peace to the believer, freeing him from anxiety though he advances against such a powerful opponent.

4. “The shield of” (which is) “faith” (verse 16), means taking God at His word by believing His promises. Such trust will protect one from doubts induced by Satan.

5. “The helmet of salvation (verse 17a): Since the readers are already Christians (2:8), they are not here urged to be saved. (1 Thessalonians 5:8), describes this helmet as “the hope of salvation” that is, the certainty (assurance), of salvation.

6. “The sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God (verse 17b): The Greek term rendered “word” is not logos, referring to the whole Word of God, but rhema, referring to certain portions or selected verses of Scripture.

Your enemies have their armor why do you not have your?

Isaiah 49:6

Isaiah 49:6 6 he says: "It is too small a thing for you to be my servant to restore the tribes of Jacob and bring back those of Israel I have kept. I will also make you a light for the Gentiles, that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth."
Acts 13:46-47 46 Then Paul and Barnabas answered them boldly: "We had to speak the word of God to you first. Since you reject it and do not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life, we now turn to the Gentiles. 47 For this is what the LORD has commanded us: "'I have made you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.'" Ephesians 3:3 "How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,"  “As I wrote afore in few words” refers to (1:9-10 and 2:11-22), where the author only touched on “the mystery” which God had “made known” to him. In the most general of terms (1:9-10), identifies this “mystery” as the establishing of a new humanity under the headship of Christ. A bit more specifically. (2:11-22) defines it as the inclusion of Gentile Christians along with Jewish Christians in God’s family. But (3:6), will spell out with even more precision exactly what this mystery entails.

Are you a descendent from Abraham?

Question: “What is Paul’s gospel?”

 My opinion while reading this book is and this is only my opinion!

If you/we claim Abram/Abraham as your/our Ancestor, by reading your own books, you/we should pay attention?

Chapter 3 and 4 of Galatians is the most important chapters in the 'New Testament’ and might be all of Gods Word (Jesus Christ)?

The Four Books of Allah

The Tawrat

The Zabur

The Injeel

The Holy Quran

The Jewish holy books is a general name for many books written in different periods.

 It is divided into written Torah and oral Torah

The written Torah includes the books of the Bible, which is the first and the most important.  The Bible is also called the Tanakh (in Hebrew). The word Tanach (תנך) is an acronym for three types of books: Torah (five Pentateuch of the Torah), Prophets, and Scriptures. 

Because they explain to a group of weak people like 'Yours Truly' why 'The Son of God' had to come to die on the cross!

Using the New & Old Testament/Torah/ Allah as the proof!

Genesis 15:6 

Abram believed the LORD, and he credited it to him as righteousness.

It is that justification (salvation) comes as the result of one’s faith in Christ, not as a result of trying to obey the law.

Paul argues this point by appealing to the Galatians’ own experience



(3:1-5),

To

Old Testament Scripture

(3:6-14),

To the Abrahamic covenant

(3:15-18),

To the purpose of the law

(3:19-29),

To the law’s temporary nature

(4:1-11),

And to allegory

(4:21-31).

Galatians 3:1-29

The multitude of (Their Gods Followers)

Actually; everyone claiming to be

a 'descendent from Abraham' read from the words of your God

Galatians 3:1 "O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?"

Verses 3:1 – 4:31:

In the first two chapters, Paul has argued that his gospel is the true one. Now the question is: “What is Paul’s gospel?” So (in chapters 3 and 4), the apostle defines his gospel. In short, it is that justification (salvation), comes as the result of one’s faith in Christ, not as a result of trying to obey the law.

Paul argues this point by appealing to the Galatians’ own experience (3:1-5), to Old Testament Scripture (3:6-14), to the Abrahamic covenant (3:15-18), to the purpose of the law (3:19-29), to the law’s temporary nature (4:1-11), and to allegory (4:21-31).

The Galatians did not actually see Jesus being crucified. The first verse of this reading must mean that the preaching the Galatians first heard vividly described the death of Jesus Christ by crucifixion. So why is the vivid description of Christ’s death an argument for the truth of the gospel Paul preached? The answer has … Continue reading "Commentary on Galatians 3:1-9, 23-29"

Galatians 4:1-31 (NLT) Galatians 4:1-11 . 4 Think of it this way. If a father dies and leaves an inheritance for his young children, those children are not much better off than slaves until they grow up, even though they actually own everything their father had. 2 They have to obey their guardians until they reach whatever age their father set.

Ga 4:1-31. The Same Subject Continued: Illustration of Our Subjection to the Law Only till Christ Came, from the Subjection of an Heir to His Guardian till He Is of Age. Peter's Good Will to the Galatians Should Lead Them to the Same Good Will to Him as They Had at First Shown. Their Desire to Be under the Law Shown by the Allegory of Isaac?

Hebrews Chapter 11 Verses 1-40: The 11th chapter is a moving account of faithful Old Testament saints and given such titles as, “The Saints’ Hall of Fame,” “The Honor Roll of Old Testament Saints,” and “Heroes of Faith.” They all attest to the value of living by faith.
