Book excerpt: Spiritual warfare in the life of the Christian is a constant battle. We are never free from the battles that rage in our flesh, our mind, the world, or in the spiritual realm where Satan rules supreme as the power of darkness and sin. In God’s wisdom, He has made provision for the Christian to avoid many battles, to be victorious in those battles we must confront, and to live an effective, joyful life for Christ. That provision is the armor of God. In this book you will learn important facts about the sources of our battles and about each piece of armor. However, the story does not end with simply providing information. You will learn, from Scripture, how to put on the armor God has provided for you. Without wearing God’s armor, you leave your spiritual life exposed to temptations and battles, which you will needlessly have to fight. Putting on the whole armor of God will divert Satan’s attacks in order to continue serving God without being sidetracked from your primary mission of glorifying God. You will still face battles and temptations wearing your armor. The difference is that His armor will help you handle them in such a way that you grow through them instead of losing the battles and yielding to temptations.
