"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 ...with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace."
The gospel message
guides and enables our feet to tread the narrow path to eternal life (Matthew
7:13). Although it is our choice to choose the narrow path it is the gospel
message that gives us that choice. It removes the dependence of keeping the law
which is weakened by our sinful nature but is a message of how God became our
sin offering for us (Romans 8:3). It is a gospel of peace, peace between us and
God, restoring that relationship. Yet the narrow path also removes all the
idols of the heart and instates God to that regal position of authority in our
lives. All we must to is choose the path our feet will tread.
