Ephesians
6:10-18 “Finally,
my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able
to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and
blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness
in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil
day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate
of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield
of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation,
and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit,
and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints."
THE INSPIRATION OF THE BIBLE
The Bible was written down by different human authors of varying backgrounds. Some were fishermen, others, shepherds.
One was a tax collector! Yet behind each one of them was God the Holy Spirit who inspired what they wrote. "For prophecy never
came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit." (2 Pe. 1:21). "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for
instruction in righteousness." (2 Tim. 3:16)
Jesus taught that the Scripture is the Word of God. Talking about the Old Testament, Jesus said "Have you not read what was SPOKEN to you BY GOD". (Mat. 22.31). And again, in John 10:34,35, Jesus equates the Old Testament or Scripture with "the Word of God". He says that "the Scripture
cannot be broken." Anyone who disobeys God's Word breaks himself, but not God's Word or its integrity. Jesus claimed that his teachings were the teachings of God. He said,
"My doctrine is not mine, but his who sent me." (John 7:16).
