THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT / EPHESIANS 6:17

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Ephesians 6:17

And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT / EPHESIANS 6:17

The “sword of the Spirit” – the Word of God – is our offensive weapon to be used in the war against the powers of evil. Jesus effectively used this weapon against Satan (Matthew 4:1-11; Luke 4:1-13). We must know God’s Word and be confident of its power and effectiveness. Satan will try to twist God’s Word, as he has from the beginning (Genesis 3:1-5), and he will make every effort to undermine or destroy the Christian’s confidence in God’s Word. The church must hold on to and defend the inspired Word of God against claims and attacks that it is not authentic and accurate in everything it teaches. To abandon the attitude of Christ and the apostles toward God’s inspired Word is to deny its power to expose evil, to correct, to save, to heal, to drive out demons and to overcome all evil. To deny Scripture’s absolute authority and trustworthiness in all it teaches is to surrender ourselves to Satan’s deception, influence, control and final destruction (2 Peter 1:21; Matthew 4:1-11).
