Ephesians 6:10-15
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. 11 Put on the whole armor of
God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle
against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic
powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly
places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the
evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.
14 Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of
righteousness, 15 and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of
peace.
1.     The Gospel gives us stability and a foundation on which to
stand
2.     The Gospel prepares us to share the Good News
Isaiah 52:7
7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes
peace, who brings good news of happiness, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, “Your
God reigns.”
3.     The Gospel Brings us peace

What does the Bible say about peace?

• Real peace begins with a relationship with Jesus
• Real peace is unrelated to our circumstances
• Real peace helps us make peace with others
• Real peace comes from obedience to the Lord
• Real peace doesn’t always make sense

One Big Idea:
The foundation of the Gospel allows us to find strength and peace in the spiritual battles we face.
