Soldiers of Light
“Therefore, let us lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.” (Romans 13:12)
You cannot put on the new until you have washed off the old. The armor of light that is described in detail in Ephesians chapter six is alluded to here in Romans. The helmet of salvation, the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness… all of these must be worn by soldiers who have shed their old lives to be effective. The sword of the Spirit, God’s Word, must be wielded by clean hands, or it will harm both him who swings the blade and innocent bystanders, too.
We cannot add God to our life without subtracting evil, too. The armor of God is not an accessory, and our spirituality isn’t an embellishment on our life – it is a transformation and renewal. New clothes for a new person.
Matthew 4:4 #Biblebites
