![]() It is God’s Word that will lead us along a straight path, (Proverbs 4:11). Without the Word of God, we will lack much wisdom and understanding. Proverbs 4:4 tells us that we are to take hold of the words with all our heart keep the commands and live. Solomon writes much about God’s Word and instructions in Proverbs. The sword of the Spirit is vital throughout our faithful steps, without the Word of God, we would be led to a path of destruction. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” John 1:1 KJV In the Bible, in the gospel of John, the very first Bible verse tells us this: Here, we speak of the sword of the Spirit, the Word of God. The fact that this is mentioned twice in such close proximity seems to highlight the importance of all parts of the armor being put on in full, working in unity. “Put on the full armor of God”, is not only written in Ephesians 6:10 but again, very shortly after in Ephesians 6:13. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.” Ephesians 6:10 NIV “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. The sword of the Spirit is the Word of God! What Does the Sword of the Spirit Mean? The sword of the Spirit is the Word of God. All parts of the armor work together to stand strong “against the powers of this dark world” (Ephesians 6:12). It is the same with Christ (1 Corinthians 12:12). There is one body, but it has many parts. ![]() Since each piece protects us differently I’m going to focus on one piece of armor today, the Sword of the Spirit.Įach piece of armor has its own part to play, and to separate them could be compared to separating the body of Christ. When I read through the scriptures in Ephesians 6:10-20, one of the first things that stand out is the completeness of the armor of God.
