“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.” Ephesians 6:10-11
“Be strong in the Lord” means to not rely on your own strength. However, “be strong” may also be translated “be made strong,” which is passive voice, and that would indicate that we cannot do it ourselves.
“Full armor of God” is the believer’s protection against evil and Satan. The Apostle Paul earlier detailed the complete outfit of a heavily armed soldier in a metaphor. He spoke of the battle dress roughly according to the order in which the various pieces were put on. The image may have occurred to Paul in prison by looking at his Roman guards.
“Stand against” is a defensive description. Christ defends us against the devil and his trickery.
“Schemes” are particularly false doctrine, designed to lead us away from God. They are subtle tricks designed to defeat Christians in spiritual warfare.
Arise each day and put on your full armor of God through prayer and worship.
Blessings on your day…
