DO WE WEAR ARMOR?

From the April 1884 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Are our "feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace?" Have we invested ourselves with the whole armor of God, so that we are able to withstand the wiles of the devil? Have we sufficient understanding of Divine love to carry us through the warfare of error, so that we shall not smell of the battle smoke, or carry a thought of it with us?

"He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High, shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty." Let us seek that secret place. It is not for one, but for all. If we are falling into mortal error, we are departing from God, divesting ourselves of His armor, and substituting in its place a target for the enemy to hit.

A withdrawal into the Infinite Love hides us from the gaze of our foes. Error cannot enter the presence of Truth without losing its claim to power. It becomes annihilated.
