Jesus and the Whole Armor of God

"He has no hold over me..." The Lord Jesus, speaking about the prince of this world
"Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil."  
~The Apostle Paul

Satan had no hold over Jesus whatsoever.  None at all.  Jesus never gave the enemy an opportunity.  He lived in perfect victory.  And He gave us his pattern of perfectly resisting the evil one:  faith in the word of God.

Our faith is our shield, just as Paul teaches us in Ephesians.  Our sword is God's word.  We use our shield and sword the way Jesus did.  This is our shield:  IT IS WRITTEN.  This is our sword:  QUOTING WHAT IS WRITTEN.  When we do this, we secure ourselves in truth, which is the belt of our spiritual armor.  By faith in God's word, we are righteous, which is our breastplate.  Faith in God's word prepares us to preach the gospel of peace, and this preparation is protection for our feet in battle.  Our faith in God's word gives us the assurance of the things we hope for, and this is the helmet of the hope of our salvation.

IT IS WRITTEN.  This is our shield.
WHAT IS WRITTEN:  This is our sword.

By faith in the word of God, we are sanctified by the truth (our belt), righteous to God (our breastplate), at peace with God (our battle shoes), and have the hope of salvation (our helmet.)

When we follow Jesus' example, we are armed with the armor of God.
And Satan has no hold over us.
