Ephesians 6:15 – Shoes of the Gospel

by northwestjim, posted in Thought For The Day

Ephesians 6:15
With your feet fitted with the readiness of the gospel of peace.

SHOES OF THE GOSPEL

Echoes of the Great Commission.

A Roman soldier’s footwear enables movement, stability, and protection. Entering a battle barefoot would put the soldier at significant risk.

As a believer, I must be ready to go wherever the gospel leads and to stand firm during trials. Being unequipped with a ready understanding of the gospel leaves me barefoot and vulnerable against the wiles of the Evil One.

So what is “readiness of the Gospel?

  • Not just “go forth”
  • It is being anchored
  • It is being equipped
  • It is Standing Firm (defense) AND Sharing Truth (Offense)

Striving to be…
Stable
Prepared
Confident
Ready to be a tool.
