In Ephesians we are given how to fight against the powers of evil forces so we can stand firm. We have within us the armor of God; the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the shield of faith, and the helmet of salvation.
How do we use this armor in close relationships as well? If we have the belt of truth and know God's instructions for living we have discernment. If we live righteously we eliminate pride which helps us forgive others more readily. We also find respect for each other through Godly love. The shield of faith gives us peace within to withstand disappointments which occur in life. By dwelling in the Word, we obtain the helmet of salvation which dashes out the fires of sorrow and setbacks because of our hope in the future.
