Think Again!

168 • Think Again: Transformation That Yields a Return on God’s Investment

Eph. 4.24). As we become integrated and forged into Christ, we take on all his attributes.

The elements of the armor can all be related to Christ himself. We engage the enemy with power that is not our own, because we are united as a body to the Head. • He is our belt of truth (the Way, the Truth, and the Life, John 14.6). • He is our breastplate of righteousness (1 Cor. 1.30). • He is our shoes of readiness (who will soon crush Satan under our feet, Rom. 16.20). • He is our shield of faith (the Author and Perfecter of our Faith, Heb. 12.2). • He is our salvation (the helmet of salvation, Isa. 59). • He is our sword (the Word of God, John 1.1).

Take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm!
