When a football player suits up, he knows that his equipment is designed to protect him in battle against a dangerous opponent.
As
followers of Christ, we also face a dangerous foe—a spiritual enemy who seeks our downfall and
destruction. Fortunately, our Lord has provided us with
protection, and He challenges us to suit
up for spiritual battle.

Take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. —Ephesians 6:13 |
In
Ephesians 6:13,
we read, “Take
up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the
evil day, and having done all, to stand.” Paul then describes
our armor—helmet, breastplate, shield, sword, belt, and shoes. These
pieces of spiritual equipment are effective only if we put them on and
use them—even if they might
feel uncomfortable at first. Faithfulness in the Word (v.17), in prayer
(v.18), and in witness
(vv.19-20) are critical to making our armor feel like a part of us.
So
suit up! The battle is on!
Be not weary, Christian warrior,
Buckle on thine armor tight; Be ye strong and face the battle In the power of His might. —Iler
God’s armor is tailor-made for you,
but you must put it on.  |

📖 SERIE BÍBLICA COMPLETA: 🌾 SEMANA 1: Dios el Creador, el Origen del Hombre y la Promesa Propósito: Comprender que Dios es un Dios de orden, que nos dio dignidad al crearnos y que, aunque el pecado trajo espinos, Él siempre tiene un plan de redención. 1. Dios pone orden en medio del caos Cita Bíblica (Génesis 1:1–3): "En el principio creó Dios los cielos y la tierra. Y la tierra estaba desordenada y vacía, y las tinieblas estaban sobre la faz del abismo, y el Espíritu de Dios se movía sobre la faz de las aguas. Y dijo Dios: Sea la luz; y fue la luz." Ejemplo Bíblico: Dios no destruyó la tierra vacía; pronunció su Palabra y fue separando la luz de las tinieblas y el agua de la tierra seca hasta dejar un mundo hermoso. Ejemplo Práctico para Hoy: Pensemos en un terreno cubierto de maleza, piedras y charcos. A simple vista parece inservible, pero el agricultor no lo abandona: lo limpia, lo ara y lo prepara. Hoy en día, hay familias donde hay pleitos, deudas o tristeza en el co...
