It's hard to believe we live in a time in history when God's obvious, purposeful creation design is rejected, even by brilliant scholars. When children without adult reasoning skills are allowed to make life-altering decisions about their God-given gender.
But it's even harder to believe that throughout history people have rejected God Himself, even though He has made Himself known in obvious ways (Romans 1:18-21).
Sadly, when someone ignores the obvious truths about God, Satan has great power in controlling their minds:
"The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God." 2 Corinthians 4:4
Satan can’t control Christians the same way he controls unbelievers. But we can fall for his schemes if we don’t put on the full armor of God, staying alert, judging all things with God’s Word, and recognizing cultural lies.
As Ephesians 6:10-18 explains, if we want to be strong in the Lord's mighty power, we must put on "the full armor of God," recognizing and standing against the devil's schemes.
We aren't merely dealing with human beings. We're dealing with rulers of darkness.
From start to finish, each element in God's armor depends on God's unchanging, relevant, perfect Word. We need the protection of biblical truth and righteousness.
So let's put on that armor by reading, studying, believing, and sharing God's Word accurately, carefully, and fully.
