Armor of God pt 3

The sermon presents a powerful call to spiritual readiness, drawing from Ephesians 6:14b–15 to emphasize the Christian's need for divine armor in the ongoing spiritual battle. Central to this message is the dual necessity of imputed righteousness—our position in Christ—and practical righteousness, which reflects a life of integrity, obedience, and daily surrender to God, both of which protect the heart from spiritual attack. The imagery of the gospel of peace as foundational footwear underscores the importance of consistent spiritual preparation through Scripture, prayer, and community, which build endurance, stability, and mobility in the face of temptation and trial. The preacher illustrates this through military training analogies, showing how repeated practice transforms truth into instinct, enabling believers to stand firm in faith. Ultimately, the sermon affirms that Christ's victory over sin and death is the unshakable foundation of peace, and that true security comes not from personal strength but from being grounded in His gospel and guarded by His righteousness.
