Jeremiah presents a way to view spiritual warfare in the Christian context. The hypothesis is that the armor of God is a lifestyle that elicits God’s protection. The experiment is to choose one of the elements of the armor of God and pursue its expansion in your life.
This clear study of the positioning of the believer made me go back and read the whole letter to the Ephesians. Paul celebrates the richness of our life in God. Our existence as God’s children, as His people, is a statement of God’s rulership to the spiritual entities around us. The two Greek terms in 6:13 mean to stand and resist, and to hold our position. I am glad you emphasized the aspects of a lifestyle in Christ and set them apart from Roman battle gear.
