As St. Paul begins to conclude his letter to the Ephesians, he reminds Christians of the gift of new clothing in Holy Baptism. In the Lord’s strength, this new clothing is armor that equips Christians to stand against the attacks of the devil. As St. Paul writes concerning each piece of armor, he encourages Christians to know the mighty protection God gives to us against our spiritual enemies. Because Christ has triumphed, so does His Church, for we are in Him.
