"Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand." Ephesians 6:13 (NIV)
In his letter to the believers in Ephesus, the Apostle Paul told them that after they had done all that they could do, they were to just stand. He told them that in order for them to stand firm in the faith against the attacks of the devil, they would need to put on the whole armor of God.
The Bible does not tell us to attack the devil or his demons, we are told to resist him, and not to give in to him when we are tempted. The only way that we can resist the devil is to submit to The Lord God. (James 4:7) We need His help stand up to the attacks of the devil. That is why we are told to put on the whole armor of God. (Ephesians 6:10-18) We are in a battle against a smart, cunning, and powerful enemy. We need the all powerful God's help. (Matthew 28:18)
