这段讲道主要围绕着以弗所书6:10-18中提到的上帝的盔甲展开，重点阐述了真理之带的意义和如何穿上它。讲员认为，上帝的盔甲代表着福音中你拥有的益处、特权和自由。穿上上帝的盔甲意味着获得一种新的思维方式，以新的视角看待自己和世界——通过这些真理和自由。 讲员指出，许多基督徒选择性地服从上帝，这并非真正的服从，而是同意；真正的基督徒是服从上帝命令的士兵，而非仅仅同意上帝建议的雇员。他用军事比喻来说明服从的意义，强调服从是基督徒与上帝关系中的一个重要方面。 讲员还谈到撒旦通过影响人的想象力，制造过度的欲望（例如愤怒、内疚、担忧、性欲），从而引发问题；这些问题是想象力的感染。他认为，用理性、意志力对抗邪恶力量无效，只有上帝的盔甲才能战胜它们；上帝的盔甲并非意志力或坚韧，而是上帝提供的工具。 关于真理之带，讲员解释说，真理之带是所有盔甲的基础，它代表着将上帝话语的真理应用于灵魂深处。他指出，仅仅相信教义和圣经的无误性是不够的，必须将真理应用于内心深处；许多基督徒有性格上的缺陷，这阻碍了他们被使用和看到他人被改变。 最后，讲员总结说，要让上帝的话语来审查自己，这需要时间和纪律；不要选择性地阅读圣经，而要让圣经来审查自己的生活。如果基督教生活只是停留在感觉良好，而非让圣经来审查自己，那是一种肤浅和短暂的信仰；要让圣经来引导自己，并服从圣经的权威。

Shownotes Transcript

The armor of God is the benefits, the privileges, and the freedoms you have in the gospel. 

To put on the armor of God means to get a new mindset. It’s to look at yourself and look at the world in a new way—through those truths and through those freedoms. 

Let’s continue our look at 1) what the armor of God is. Then we’ll turn to the first item of armor, the belt of truth: 2) what it is, and 3) how to put it on.

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on January 26, 1992. Series: Spiritual Warfare – The Armor of God. Scripture: Ephesians 6:10-18.
