Not Without Weapons

The Lord did not leave us without weapons. By the Church and his divine revelation-the Bible, he has given us an arsenal of truth and guidance for the living out of faith and morals. We are told to “Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against authorities, against cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. “(Ephesians 6:11,12) He has given us armor: the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the readiness of the gospel of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the spirit (the word of God). With these weapons we are commanded to pray always in the spirit, keeping alert with all perseverance, making supplications for all the saints. (Ephesians 6:13-18)
