The Whole Armor of God: How Christ's Victory Strengthens Us for Spiritual Warfare - Paperback

by Iain M. Duguid (Author)

"A battle manual for every Christian."

--Sinclair B. Ferguson

The Christian life is a battle. We are in a daily struggle against the world, sin, and Satan.

But God didn't leave us to fend for ourselves. He gave us his own armor--armor that Jesus has already worn on our behalf all the way to the cross. The same power that raised Christ from the dead is now at work inside of us. This book unpacks each of the pieces of spiritual armor Paul describes in Ephesians 6, inviting us to take up the armor each day, all while resting in the finished victory of Christ and the assurance that our strength for the battle comes from him.

• Strengthens Christians to trust in the power of God working for them in their battle against sin
• Highlights the Old Testament context of each piece of armor to illuminate deeper meaning
• Includes study questions at the end of each chapter
