Stand firm then…
We are to be fearless against the enemy’s assaults as he seeks to deceive, accuse, and discourage us.
vv. 14b-15
14 …with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place…
15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.

Saved from the past,
Delivered from the present,
And headed for the future.
In Christ you are unstoppable.

For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
