Wake Up and Put On the Armor of Light

What is this armor of light that God has given us? The armor of light is an armor of righteousness (2 Cor. 10; Eph 6). The two phrases say the same thing, one is the metaphor of the other. The armor of light that we do battle with in our daily life, fighting against evil and sin, is the filling of our heart with Christ’s righteousness. Stick to the mundane, simple, ordinary disciplines of living a holy life and you will find that they will defend your heart against many a temptation. Study God’s word; get quiet before the Lord; pray and listen to the Lord; be in fellowship with other believers; confess your sins and pray for one another; serve and sacrifice for others; love and serve your wife/husband/kids; share the love of Christ with a world that has rejected Christ’s first coming. Fill your heart with righteousness and your life will reflect the beams of Christ’s light and that light will be your armor against your own sin and the powers of spiritual darkness. Wake up and put on the armor of Light, the armor of righteousness, put on Jesus Christ!
