Sermon Bible Commentary - Ephesians 6:10

Ephesians 6:10 Weakness. I. To the Christian human nature is not a poor, but an infinitely grand, thing; something from which not a little, but everything, may be expected; something which was made in the image of God, was assumed and glorified by God's own Son, has been the tabernacle of untold heroisms and saintly sufferings, and shall in the end be "renewed in knowledge and majesty after the image of Him who created it." So grand a thing as this can never find safety in weakness. It is a... read more

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Ephesians 6:10

DISCOURSE: 2125THE CHRISTIAN’S STRENGTHEphesians 6:10. Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.THE Christian’s life is frequently represented in the Scriptures under the metaphor of a warfare. Christ is called “the Captain of his salvation [Note: Hebrews 2:10.];” and they who have enlisted under his banners, and “quit themselves like men,” “fighting the good fight of faith [Note: 1 Corinthians 16:13. 1 Timothy 6:12.],” and enduring cheerfully all the hardships... read more

DISCOURSE: 2126THE MEANS OF WITHSTANDING SATAN’S WILESEphesians 6:11. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.TO be possessed of courage is not the only requisite for a good soldier; he must be skilled in the use of arms; he must be acquainted with those stratagems which his adversaries will use for his destruction; he must know how to repel an assault, and how in his turn to assault his enemy: in short, he must be trained to war. Nor will his... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Ephesians 6:1-24

Chapter 6Now parent-child relationships,Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right ( Ephesians 6:1 ).That "in the Lord" I think is important. If your parents are not godly and if your parents are demanding you to do things or requiring you to do things that are improper from a spiritual base, then I do not believe that obedience is required. But obey your parents in the Lord.There is the higher conscience to God, where we must obey God rather than man. If what is being required... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Ephesians 6:1-24

Ephesians 6:1-3 . Children, obey your parents, because they are your parents, who gave you birth, and nourished you with food and fond affection in all your tender years. Their age and experience qualify them to guide and command, and in all their domestic regulations they aim solely at your good. If you disobey them in their wise and just commands, you disobey the Lord, whom your parents represent. Therefore love them, as they love you; and honour them with reverence and filial obedience.... read more

Ephesians 6:10Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might.Why strength is neededThere is good reason for our being so often advised in the Scriptures to “be strong.” Christian character has two sides. We cease to do evil. We also learn to do well. But doing well is impossible if we are not strong. The forces of evil are many and mighty. Life is short. The love of ease is deep rooted. Unless we are strong we effect nothing. Our lives shall be mere bundles of... read more

Ephesians 6:11Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.God’s armouryThere stands on the banks of the Thames a grim old fortress, well known to all as the Tower of London. In that fortress, with its memories of Roman and Norman, of Plantagenet, Tudor, and Stuart, there is a wonderful collection of weapons and armour. As you look on those relies of bygone ages, you seem to be reading chapters from the History of England. One suit of mail recalls... read more

10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Ver. 10. Be strong in the Lord ] For by his own strength shall no man prevail, 1 Samuel 2:9 . Get God’s arm, wherewith to wield his armour, and then you may do anything. read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Ephesians 6:11

11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. Ver. 11. Put on the whole armour ] Or else never think to do the afore mentioned duties; we have a busy adversary to deal with. The Turks bear no weapons but in travel; then some of them seem like a walking armoury; so must a Christian be. Coriolanus had so used his weapons of a child-little, that they seemed as if they had been born with him, or grown into his hands. a Seneca reports of Caesar... read more
