EPHESIANS CHAPTER 6

Ephesians chapter 6- Apostle Paul explains why we should have a strong belief in the mighty power of God. It’s because we are not fighting against the evil things in this world, but against the evil spiritual forces and the Satan himself. It is difficult to tackle him with human strength. So to be a warrior He advices us to take the armour provided by God.
By asking Christ to dwell inside your heart and repenting for your sins, you are putting on the helmet of salvation on your head. If you are truthful in all your doings, you are putting the belt of truth buckled around your waist. By leading a righteous life, you wear the breastplate on your chest. When you have unshakable faith in God, it acts as a shield protecting you from the flaming arrows of the Satan. When you are ready to proclaim the love of Jesus, you put on the sandals of the gospel which helps you to move around in the battle field. Finally you have to use the Word of God as a sword to fight the evil head on. What else more you need when God provides you the equipments for both defence and offence. To have all this we should continuously pray in spirit and truth.
He also states children should obey their parents if they want to lead a productive long life. Parents also should train them to lead a righteous life. He also talks about work place ethics. We should do our work whole heartedly and sincerely, irrespective of the watchful employer’s eyes, because God is watching over us. He also advices the masters to be fair with their servants as God is watching over them too. As we know God does not show favoritism.
