Starting in Ephesians 6:10, Paul describes the battle believers fight on a daily basis. This battle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces of evil and powers of the dark world. He defines the spiritual armor of God that we’re to equip ourselves with as we do battle with the enemy. Among them is the sword of the Spirit. And the sword of the Spirit is the Word of God. When we have God’s Word readily available in our lives, ready to be proclaimed, we have what’s needed to resist the enemy and stand firm against his attacks.
