The Spiritual Battle and the Armor of God

Calvary Chapel Cape Cod Sandwich

In this exploration of spiritual warfare, we delve into Ephesians 6:10-20, uncovering the reality of our cosmic battle against the forces of darkness. We're reminded that as Christians, we've entered a divine game of 'capture the flag' - one where Christ has already claimed victory! Yet, we still face a relentless enemy who seeks to deceive us into thinking we're still captive. The key message? Our strength comes from putting on the full armor of God, which is essentially putting on Christ Himself. This isn't just about belief, but about allowing these truths to become part of our very being, influencing our actions and choices daily. We're called to resist the 'trinister' forces of the world, the flesh, and Satan, not through our own power, but through the vast strength of the Lord. As we stand together as a church family, encouraging and praying for one another, we become living witnesses to the powers that the game has indeed been won, and that true freedom is found in Christ alone.
