The Father has always been the Father, and the Son always the Son. From eternity past well before creation, God has been a loving Father.
Ephesians 6:10-20
The really striking aspect of the way Paul closes this warlike exhortation is the emphasis on prayer. Look at verses 18-20... and Paul empasises 'pray' - at least three times!
The suiting up that God's mob are to do each day because of the enemy is a suiting up in dependence - it is not aggressive, nor is it warlike, nor is it independent or domineering - it is wrapped in, established in, rooted in, founded in dependence - in prayer.
This should not surprise us - after all, the section began with dependence - God's 'vast strength' and a suit of armour already tried.
This should rebuke us, especially as we think of our corporate and individual prayer. When was the last time you prayed this each day? When was the last time you attended a parish prayer meeting?
