Repetition in Scripture
April 20, 2022
When a theme is repeated in Scripture, we need to pay attention. Paul in Ephesians 6: 10—20 describes how we will be strong in the Lord. He describes the evil of that day. He outlines what we need in order to stand firm in the struggle. Truth, God’s righteousness, the gospel, faith, and salvation. We do well to specifically in prayer own each one. Its the best dressed, vital wardrobe we can claim. Paul repeats that theme in I Thessalonians 5: 8—10.
Putting on faith and love protects our hearts. Our sure hope of salvation means God will win the final battle. Our mind and focus can not be shaken.
Armor has always been important in battles. Today, given our world, is no exception. Be prepared. Wear the whole armor.
