Ephesians 6:11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 1. There is no hope, no possibility of remaining safe, without spiritual armour. 2. They who put on the armour of God, and use it as they ought, are safe and sure, and so may be secure. 3. Those who are without armour can have no hope to stand. (1) Without this armour we are naked, and lie open to every dart and shot of our spiritual enemies; and are no more able to free ourselves from the power of the devil than a poor silly lamb or kid from a roaring lion or ravenous bear. (2) By neglecting to use this armour provided of God, we provoke God to east us into the power of our enemies, and to give them power over us. 4. Those who use their armour are sure to stand. (William Gouge.)
