Clothed In The Spiritual Armor Of God

 In our Christian lives, we are commanded to be honest, to be respectful to others, to conduct ourselves with integrity, and to love our neighbor as we love ourselves,  love is the fulfilment of God's perfect Law. Although we are in the world and need to abide by the regulations of the established authorities and appointed governments (which we are reminded, were instituted by God Himself), we are also to remember that our citizenship is in heaven, and it is from there that we eagerly wait for our coming Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.
 We are part of the spiritual Body of Christ and as such, we are in a spiritual battle and the only way to survive is to be Clothed In The Spiritual Armor Of God.
 We are to be covered in His truth, covered in His righteousness, and rest in His peace and His salvation which is ours by grace alone through faith alone in His finished work alone. It is only as we dress ourselves in Christ and cover ourselves spiritually in the Lord, day by day and moment by moment, that we will we be enabled to make no provision for the evil cravings of our physical nature, only as we are clothed in Christ can the power of sin and death be defeated in the life of a Christian.
Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You that we are in Christ through faith in his finished work at Calvary. We recognize that we are in  spiritual battles and we can only be victorious as we abide in Christ and He in us. Keep us from trying to live our lives in our own strength, but we pray that we may put on the Lord Jesus in spirit and truth. To His praise and glory, AMEN.
