cct1106 Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 Its our protection, part of the Christian armor. If we have the complete Christian Armor we can stand firm against all wickedness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tabatha Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 Q3. (Ephesians 6:14) Why are such simple things as truth and personal holiness such powerful armament? Are they defensive or offensive weapons? Truth and Holiness are defensive weapons ( John 8:32) Then you will know the truth and the truth shall set you free. Jesus Himself is the truth that sets us free ( 36 ) So if the truth sets you free, you will be free indeed. He is the source of truth, the perfect standard of what is right. H e frees us from the consequences of sin, from self-deception, and from deception by Satan.He shows us clearly the way to eternal life with God As we seek to serve G od, Jesus' perfect truth frees us to be all that God meant us to be. Which is a Holy people. When we are free from the evil of the old ways and seek God the Holy Spirit will teach us how to walk in Holiness. ( Holiness is pure with out mixture.) With these two weapons as armament we are poerful in Christ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

June Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 By knowing the truth of God's Word and living a righteous life keeps Satan at bay. By reading & studying everyday keeps your tank filled so if attacked, you know and have the wisdom to lash back at him. Satan has NO rights, we belong to God. These are both offensive and defensive weapons. Acquire wisdom and Pray intently.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charisbarak Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 Truth & personal holiness are defensive weapons. Truth & personal holiness protects, it sets us free. We are less likely to fall for the wiles of the devil when we put what he says up to the Truth! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masika Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 In John 8:32- Jesus said that you will know the truth and the truth will set you free ! Jesus Himself is the truth that sets us free- he is the source of truth . The perfect standard of what is rigth. He frees us from continued slavery to sin, from self-deeception, and from deception by satan. He shows clearly the way to eternal life with God. Thus , Jesus does not give us freedom to do what we want , but freedom to follow God- As we seek to serve God Jesus' perfect truth frees us to be all that God meant us to be.

Stan Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Q3. (Ephesians 6:14) Why are such simple things as truth and personal holiness such powerful armament? Are they defensive or offensive weapons? I believe that they can be both offensive and defensive. If we allow them to grow in our lives then we begin to be stronger in our faith and they become offensive by us using them to further the spreading of the gospel and other works that God has planned in advance for us to do.

PCHRIS Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Truth and Holiness are both defensive and offensive weapons. Truth is what we girth around our loins this is what we hang the rest of our armanent on and as John 8:32 has been quoted this is what sets us free, truth. Holiness is what we grow in and develop by entrenching in His Word and constantly praying to our Father. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eudora Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Q3. (Ephesians 6:14) Why are such simple things as truth and personal holiness such powerful armament? Truth and holiness verifies who we are to others. When we stand in truth and holiness before satan and his army, he can not win. He knows this. That is why he uses the technique of lying to us to make our minds think that we are weak when in fact we are strong in The Lord. Are they defensive or offensive weapons? They are completely offensive to satan. It really makes him angry when we know the truth but when we walk in The Light of Jesus, that light burns his eyes. What can I say?

Lisa Rupert Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Q3. (Ephesians 6:14) Why are such simple things as truth and personal holiness such powerful armament? The truth and personal holiness are our protections from the evil ways of satan. It is our understanding of the righteousness of the Lord. We are protected by our obedience, living holy, and walking righteously for God. If we walk righteously it is our powerful protection from the destruction of sin. Are they defensive or offensive weapons? I believe we use these weapons in both ways. We learn and understand the truth which separates our beliefs from that of satans. They are our defense and protection from satan when he comes after us, we use them to defend ourselves against the wilds of satan when he attacks us.

sahala p.s. Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Q3. (Ephesians 6:14) Why are such simple things as truth and personal holiness such powerful armament? Are they defensive or offensive weapons? Such simple things as truth and personal holiness are such powerful armament, because the truth that we know and hold firmly will protect us from the deceit of the devil. Then, personal holiness that we understand that we have got in Christ, will protect us from the accusation or persecution by Satan, and will protect us to live holy lives, be obedient, to walk in God's way rightly. These are offensive weapons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they defensive or offensive weapons? [/quo you can't get around the truth and for personal holiness is the same because it is living above the standards and systems of this world. they are both offensive and defensive weapons. we view them as defensive weapons but the world sees them as offensive.

JanMary Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Q3. (Ephesians 6:14) Why are such simple things as truth and personal holiness such powerful armament? Truth is the basis of our faith. Truth sets us free when we know the truth. Jesus is Truth. When we have the truth our foundation is on the Rock, rather than on sand which is always moving and shifting. It's hard to argue with truth...if it's Satan attacking, he knows the truth too...but he tries to distort and twist it to deceive. If it's a person, the truth is not only an armament, if heeded, it can also set that person free. Walking in truth and holiness are protection from the evil one. Are they defensive or offensive weapons? I think they are both! (As well as being "offensive" to those who hate God!) They are offensive as armaments, but truth defends our faith. The martyrs spoke the truth of their testimonies in Rev. 12:11, and though they lost their lives they stood for their faith. When I use it as a sword when Satan attacks, it becomes a defensive weapon against his lies and accusations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hanks Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Q3. (Ephesians 6:14) Why are such simple things as truth and personal holiness such powerful armament? Are they defensive or offensive weapons? We are to test everything by the truth. It is only when we know the truth that we will not be deceived. When we apply this truth to our daily lives, we find strength and protection in combat. We as Christians have been set apart and belong to God. Every believer is clothed with the righteousness of God (2Cor 5:21), but integrity and uprightness must be evident in our personal life.

Sasquatch Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 Q3. (Ephesians 6:14) Why are such simple things as truth and personal holiness such powerful armament? In John 8:31-32, Jesus says "If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free". Jesus is the truth that set us free. We are made "right" by Christ's death....we are protected, set apart, holy, ......we belong to God. Walking with Christ and living a holy life protects us. This deprives the devil of a foothold from which to attack us! Are they defensive or offensive weapons? Both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLL Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Q3. (Ephesians 6:14) Why are such simple things as truth and personal holiness such powerful armament? Are they defensive or offensive weapons? When we know the truth which is Jesus Christ and Him crucified for our sakes we have a solid foundation to stand on. That in turn is our armament to protect us from the wicked one. These are both defensive and offensive weapons bc it protects us from evil and helps us to grow as disciples.
