2 Digest

Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.

1. What does this passage show me about God?

   • What are the pieces of the armor of God, and what are believers told to do once they have put it on?

2. What does it show me about people — and about myself?

   • Notice how much of the armor is simply the gospel — truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, God's word. What does that tell you about how a believer stands?

3. What will I obey this week? (a concrete step, with a day)

   • Which piece of the armor will you deliberately put on this week, and how?

4. Who will I tell?

   • Who feels under attack right now that you could encourage with this passage this week?

3 Grow

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).
