Are you aware of these weapons? Are you aware that you are in a battle for your life and the lives of those around you? Does this chapter come as a surprise to you? Prepare yourself for battle because you are in one. The best way to insure defeat is to not even be aware that you are in a battle.
Paul was always mindful of the spiritual battle that raged around him. In this chapter he identified the enemy as "arguments and high-minded things that are raised up against the knowledge of God". He battled not against people, but the arguments and ideas that they based their thoughts on.
For Paul, his thoughts and actions were rooted in the scriptures. He lived his life to know and love God and to help others understand and obey God's ways. It was a constant "struggle and war".
Get in the fight today.
