The sword of the Spirit is the Bible, and it's the weapon we use to fight a war of love against the forces of darkness.

Hi Keith. Thankyou for that article. I have a question about the 'Word being the Sword of the Spirit' if that's ok? I'm not sure quite what your trying to communicate here to be honest. You write "Paul told the Ephesians the sword of the Spirit “is the Word of God,” which actually probably does not refer to the entirety of the Bible (though it is surely not excluded!), but to specific sayings of God, especially the gospel". Are you saying the the 'Sword of the Spirit' being the 'Word of God' is not the vast majority of Scripture, rather the Gospels and specific sayings that God has made are? Or is it someone hearing from God directly, like Moses or Jesus did? Or are you saying it is both? Thanks heaps- Thanks for the bit about the sword of the Spirit-revealing the truth about God, us, and others, and showing us who we really are and what we have in Christ. It is the truth we know that sets us free.
