“and having shod YOUR FEET WITH THE PREPARATION OF THE GOSPEL OF PEACE.”

Ephesians 6:15, NASB

 

The Roman soldiers had hobnails (short nails) put on the soles of their sandals. They gave the soldiers traction to keep them from slipping when they were in battle.

 

Satan has declared war against believers in Christ. Do not be mistaken, he is a strong enemy. To stand firm against Satan, Christians must put spiritual hobnails on the soles of their shoes.  

 

The Apostle Paul says, “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. For           our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but… against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness” (Ephesians 6:10 & 12, NASB). As we look at the world around us the forces of darkness are obvious. In our neighborhoods and cities, we see the forces of wickedness.

 

The Bible says Christians are ambassadors of peace. Christ’s followers must be ready to take the Gospel of peace wherever they go. Ultimately, their aim should be to establish the peace of God in the world.
