Spirit and Truth Devotional - The War is Real Series Pt4: The Armor of God - The Shoes of Peace Paul’s image of the Roman caligae in Ephesians 6:15 shows how the gospel of peace gives us traction in spiritual battle. Those leather boots had metal studs like cleats, helping a soldier stand firm and not be pushed around; similarly, Christ’s peace steadies us against Satan’s attacks—division, worry, and fear. The Greek word hetoimos means ready and sure‑footed, and Paul calls us to be alert and prepared (1 Peter 5:8). This peace is rooted in Christ’s reconciling work: He ended enmity between God and sinners and between divided peoples, so He is our peace. Be ready not only with the gospel message but with your testimony, which Scripture says helps defeat the enemy (Revelation 12:11). Jesus promises a peace the world cannot give (John 14:27), and Peter urges us to explain our hope with gentleness and respect (1 Peter 3:15). Fasten these shoes of peace so you can stand, move forward, and carry God’s peace into every place of conflict.
