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.  |

Pasaje Central: Juan 14:6 — "Jesús le dijo: Yo soy el camino, y la verdad, y la vida; nadie viene al Padre, sino por mí." Amada iglesia, hoy vivimos en un mundo repleto de filosofías, ideologías, dogmas y corrientes de pensamiento. Si salimos a las calles, encontraremos personas que dicen que Dios no existe, otras que adoran a miles de divinidades, algunas que profesan seguir a Jesús pero han distorsionado quién es Él, y muchas más que confían en sus propias buenas obras para llegar al cielo. Sin embargo, la Palabra de Dios es categórica y no deja lugar a la ambigüedad: la salvación no se encuentra en un sistema humano, no se compra con méritos, ni se alcanza a través de falsas doctrinas. La salvación es una obra exclusiva de Dios por gracia, a través de la fe en Jesucristo. Hoy examinaré a la luz de las Escrituras por qué ninguna de estas corrientes puede salvar al ser humano y por qué solo Cristo es el Salvador del mundo. I. LA FOLLÍA DEL ATEÍSMO Y EL SECULARISMO Comencemos...
