Faith in God’s word is our shield, but there is work to be done to acquire this armour. We must learn to study and then ‘rightly divide’ God’s word of truth. This requires God’s spirit of wisdom to discern how to correctly apply the scriptures to our situation. Knowing the scriptures will help us to respond to those who interrogate us. And it will transform our behaviour so we will not be intimidated, but can give an answer that demonstrates God’s love and wisdom.
Are we deeply rooted in God’s word so our heart and mind is protected from the Adversary’s messaging.
