Summary

What are we supposed to do so we don’t lead defeated lives? Ephesians 6 tells us about spiritual warfare, about the problems that get thrown at us. And it also tells us about our arsenal, the full armor of God. We’re now going to look not so much at what is being thrown at us, but at what we can do to respond to it, how we can defend ourselves. We’re beginning a series on the full armor of God, looking at 1) what is is and 2) how to put it on. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on January 19, 1992. Series: Spiritual Warfare – The Armor of God. Scripture: Ephesians 6:10-18.

0:17.6	Now here's Dr Keller with today's teaching. When we began Ephesion 6 at verse 10 we saw that this passage is about
0:30.0	spiritual warfare.
0:32.5	And in the beginning it tells us that we're supposed to realize
0:35.5	that we're, as Christians, we have an array of spiritual darkness
0:40.8	and wickedness that is attacking us and we spend a number of times
0:46.2	dealing with this whole idea of personal supernatural evil. It's something that's
0:51.4	rather difficult for a modern New Yorker to grasp, at least personal supernatural
0:58.2	evil.
0:59.2	They can understand personal evil pretty well.
1:01.7	But the idea of the devil, the idea of demons, that sort of thing. It's a difficult
1:06.4	thing for folks to grasp. We spend time trying to understand what the scripture teaches
1:10.8	about it, the reality of it, the nature of it, and there's a sense in which we've spent a
1:16.2	number of weeks looking at the arsenal of the forces of darkness against us.
1:23.0	Now tonight, to set us up before we go to the Lord's table,
1:27.0	I would like to start, I'd like to go back in a sense to the passage that we originally started with and look at the other part of it which
1:35.2	is our arsenal against our enemies, our arsenal, the full armor of God. Now we're not so much looking at what is being thrown at us, but what we can do to respond to it, how we can defend ourselves. We're looking at our arsenal now. And I'm going to read
1:54.0	Ephesians chapter 6 verse 10 down to 18 and tonight we begin
2:00.3	actually a sort of a series within the series. We were all talking about
