Sermon
The Whole Armor of God
By Tim Keller
Sermon
The Sandals of Peace (Part 1)
Tim Keller | February 23, 1992
Overview
Some of you may be surprised that when Paul thinks about armor, he lists the shoes.
Paul goes through the pieces of equipment that a Roman soldier would wear. It’s an illustration on how to live the Christian life, and it gets at a balance that is critical to understand: the balance of how much of the Christian life is your exertion and how much is God’s working in you.
To understand this particular piece of armor, we have to ask ourselves a couple of questions about the footwear of a Roman soldier: 1) what role did shoes have? 2) what do the shoes represent? and 3) what’s the gospel of peace?
