Readiness

Ephesians 6:15

'... and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.'

This is the third piece of 'Armour' which we are to wear as Christians who are fighting Satan. The Roman Soldier wore sandles with spikes on the bottom, which dug into the ground so that in battle they might stand firm and not be moved. Likewise we are to have a firm and solid understanding and Knowledge of the bible (God's word/'the Gospel of Peace') so that we can stand firm in battle with Satan. The word peace refers to unity. The gospel unites us (Christians) with each other, and we should be bound together with the same cause - to glorify God.

So, Are you firm in the word? Do you have bile verses memorized to defend yourself against Satan's attacks? Do you read the bible daily and pray? Do you encourage others to do the same? You should. I speak from experience when I say it is very important. The bible is God's word and there is nothing more true or stable.
