Ephesians 6:10-17 – Putting on the armor of God.

We are part of the conflict between good and evil.

• Philippians 2:25; Philemon 1:2; I Peter 2:11; II Corinthians 6:7

We have to define victory.

• I Timothy 1:18

• I Timothy 6:11

• II Timothy 2:1-10 – Salvation for ourselves and as many others as possible is the objective!

We have to fight the enemy.

• II Corinthians 10:1-6 – This warfare is spiritual in nature, waged in the hearts and minds of men.

• I Peter 5:8

• Ephesians 6:12

• We are not fighting against a cartoon version of Satan. We are fighting against his influence and temptations in the world.

We have to train new recruits.

• Ephesians 2:3-5

• Ephesians 3:13-19; 4:11-13

• Ephesians 6:19-20

• Younger generations are less religious. More and more people think its wrong to try to teach and convert others.

• The power of God in the gospel can still convert people!

II Timothy 4:7-8
