Description: Ephesians 6:10-13 — Do you have a hard time finding the proper balance in life between too much activity and too much rest? Our society today is saturated with the message that people should always be doing something in order to be productive. Yet others would say that life should be lived casually and restfully. What does Scripture say? In this sermon on Ephesians 6:10-13, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones explains why this battle is so important for a follower of Christ. One way that Satan attacks us is through our view of our actions. He tries to keep us from finding the balance between the two extremes of activity for the Kingdom of God. What are these extremes? The first is called antinomianism, which is an interpretation that disregards instructions in Scripture as things to be obeyed. On the other side is legalism, a view that demands a strict lifestyle with no room for obedience based on principle. Either of these views, says Dr. Lloyd-Jones, will lead to a general slackness in one’s Christian walk and a failure to apply the truth to ourselves. We are called to follow Christ and to demonstrate our love for him by obeying his commands, but we must not allow this to build a worldly zeal within us— rather, we must overcome this scheme of the devil by realizing that we must obey God out of a desire to please him and know him better.
