INTRO: We have come to the last message in the book of Ephesians. It is a book of six chapters and divides into two sections. Chapters 1-3 deal with doctrine, and chapters 4-6 deal with the duties of Christians. Paul wrote it while he was in Rome in prison and in this message we will see how he got the letter to Ephesus. Google said it is 2,344 kilometers from Rome to Ephesus. In chapter 6 Paul gave a concluding word not related by subject matter to the rest of the book. Here he opened a large window for the reader to look into the realm of the unseen enemy every Christian battles. We are reminded that our real battle is not with people, it is with Satan and his demons. Paul has encouraged the believer to put on the whole armor of God. Surely we need every part. And when we have put on every part of the Christian's armor, now he instructs the believer to stand. He must stand against the wiles of the devil and he must learn to stand in the evil day. Every believer meets an evil day every once in a while. Many are led off the path in such a day and some give up altogether. One of the most damaging teachings in the Church today is called the Once Saved Always Saved position. From all I can find is a relatively new doctrine in the Church and it has done untold damage. Paul does not give these warnings, knowing they really do not have any potential of happening. He knows full well what may happen. And so we need the whole armor of God.
