07 - The Sword Of The Spirit

Ephesians 6:14-18

October 1, 2023 • Pastor Ronald H. Gann • Ephesians 6:14–18

Throughout the history, there have been certain individuals—both real and fictional—whose identity remains inseparably linked to their weapon of choice. For example, from medieval history, there is King Arthur, who is forever linked with his sword, known as Excalibur. In the world of Hollywood, there is James Bond, famous for carrying his Walther PPK, a German pistol. In the same way, we are told in no uncertain terms in Ephesians 6 that God ascribes to all believers a weapon of choice that is inseparably linked to their identity as believers. It is a weapon that not only defines who we are in Christ and what we believe about him, but it also defines how we are to fight for Christ. It is the Word of God, which Paul affectionately refers to as the Sword of the Holy Spirit.
