Ephesians 6:17b
'...and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.'
And so we have our only offensive weapon - the sword of the spirit. God's word. The Bible. The Bible is our only weapon against Satan and his attacks. Jesus himself shows this by defending himself with it in Matthew 4:1-11, where he speaks God's word to Satan when he is tempted. The Bible holds immeasurable amounts of instruction about how to fight sin and Satan, how to serve God. We need to read the bible as much as possible, making the most of our time while we can (Ephesians 5:16). We have no other weapon against Satan. The sword here mentioned is double-sided, useful both for defending and attacking. That's God's word, we need to know it and use it. Do you?
