Live Like Christ  (LLC)

Ephesians 6:10-18 is the Apostle Paul’s teaching on how to live like Jesus Christ.  As Christians, we are engaged in a spiritual battle. Only living like Jesus Christ can Christians stand firm and win against all evil. Our faith, union and allegiance in Jesus Christ and the Holy Scripture provide our protection against every evil attack. See also James 4:7; 1 Peter 5:8-9). 

To Live Like Christ (LLC), put on God’s full armor: 

  • Truth:  God is Truth 
  • Righteousness:  Unity and faith in Jesus Christ makes us righteousness 
  • Peace:  Tell others of the true peace that comes from God 
  • Faith:  Trusting that the ultimate victory is ours with God 
  • Salvation:  Never doubt God's saving work through wholehearted faith in Jesus Christ 
  • Word:  Knowing the truth of God's Holy Scriptures 
  • Pray:  Jesus NEVER stop praying to God the Father

Be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the evil. For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm. Stand your ground, putting on the belt of TRUTH and the body armor of God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS. For shoes, put on the PEACE that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared. In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of FAITH to stop the fiery arrows of the devil. Put on SALVATION as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the WORD of God. PRAY in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your PRAYERS for all believers everywhere. Ephesians 6:10-18 (NLT).
