Take Up the Sword of the Spirit..Seriously!
Ephesians 6:17 says, “and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.”
Now, we go on the offense. On guard! Our swords (the Word of God) are in hand! So how do we wield it with skill?
Believers in Christ need to read the Bible every day to not only know it, but to live it out by obeying what He says, and to truly know and love God more each day.
Believers in Christ need to memorize Scripture —To hide it in our hearts so we won’t sin against God, but instead that we can share Christ’s love with a lost world.
Believers also need to meditate on His Word — so we can be transformed by the renewing of our minds and know what God’s will is, so we can carry out God’s Word in our daily living.
So, followers of Christ, Soldiers in Arms. Take up the Sword of the Spirit, God’s Word, and fight the good fight today! On guard, Satan, take that!
And there you go!
