Ephesians 6

Paul taught that we are to be obedient to those in authority over us and just and kind to those we have authority over. He also said that we are not in a battle against people, but against dark spiritual forces. In order to fight effectively, we need to put on what Paul called the full armor of God: faith, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, and the word of God.

We need to always remember that other people are not our enemies. We are God's army, fighting against the devil and his demons. Unbelievers are the battleground and we must prepare ourselves for the battle. God has given us all the equipment we need. All we need to do is know it, practice it, and use it.
