The war of the priesthood: an exposition of the armor of god - uri brito

When Paul penned his famous passage on the armor of God, was he borrowing imagery from a Roman soldiers kit and gear? Hardly.

That would have been a disastrous way to appeal to Christians oppressed by Rome.

The real inspiration for Pauls analogy is more scripturally consistent.

In describing the believers armor, the Hebrew of Hebrews was simply speaking in his mother tongue: the Old Testament.

God has made us a kingdom of priests.

Christ, our great High Priest, makes it clear by example that our priestly duty is to be on the offensive against Satans kingdom.

To fight, you want an armor suited for your needs.

Gods priests need a priestly armor.
