Unmasked: Armored for the Pandemic

Ephesians 6: 10-18

 

The true pandemic that we face in our society today is sin, aside from the Bubonic Plague of the 14^th century, the Spanish Flu of 20^th the century and the Covid19 of 21^st century its sin that has remained the one constant throughout the centuries. Sin is simply the transgression or breaking of the law of the Creator. (1 John 3:4) So while we are able to use the many medical recommendations as precautionary measures to keep us safe the Apostle Paul in Ephesians also created a guideline that all can follow to keep themselves safe from this pandemic called sin.

 

For the evil one can transform himself and appear as an Angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:4) and deceive you so that you believe a lie. With this said it becomes wisdom for us to ensure we put on the whole Armor of God so that we can stand fast against the plans of the enemy.

 

Approaches to Preventing Pandemics

The Medical Approach	The Biblical Approach Sin
Public Education	Loins of Truth
Dissemination of Correct information	Breastplate of Righteousness
Available Healthcare for All	Feet with The Gospel
Laws to Protect the Environment	Shield of Faith
Going Green	Helmet of Salvation
International Environmental Policies	Sword of The Spirit

 

Now significantly while the medical approaches to preventing pandemics may change or vary depending on the type of pandemic the worlds experts are dealing with the biblical approach will always be the same as prescribed above, the Armor of God is capable of dealing with it all. The Armor of God adds to the life of the believer the truth of righteousness brought by the gospel of peace working faith to bring salvation through the word of God by His Spirit.
