Great post and teaching brother!
Note that the very first thing said “Finally brethren” in other words in summary. This discourse is a recap of what Paul has been writing in the rest of the letter. The way you can withstand the devil from a successful attack on your home is to love your wife as Christ loved the Church. Wives submit yourselves to your own husband. Children obey your parents.
He tells earlier for us to remember we have been seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. He explains we are to grow by the teaching of the 5 fold ministry so we are no longer tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine. He tells us we are the workmanship of God, created unto good works. The entire letter is being summed up with finally btrthren. These verses are the crescendo of the rest of the letter.
We were saved by grace!
If we abide by the Words of the 1st five chapters we will be fully dressed for the battle.
Great post!
God bless!
