Ephesians 6:11

tells us to put on the whole armor of God that we may be able to stand against the stratagems and the wiles of the devil.

God has provided the armor for us, but he does not put it on for us; rather, we ourselves must put it on, exercising our will to cooperate with him.

Finally, be empowered in the Lord and in the might of his strength.

What does Ephesians 6:11 mean?

Here Paul introduces the armor of God, a famous and often-used metaphor from the Bible. Paul begins with two important qualifiers in this verse. These give a useful perspective on how these various components are meant to function and why they are important. His admonition to “put on” these pieces is also instructive: Christians have to be deliberate about using these implements.

First, believers must plan to utilize all tools available to them. One or two pieces are not sufficient, especially in light of the second qualification, which are the plans of Satan. Only with every piece of the armor of God can a believer adequately stand against the schemes of the devil.
