What does Ephesians 6:10 mean?
“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power.”
Quick answer
‘Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power’ calls believers to draw strength not from themselves but from God for the spiritual battle ahead.
What it means
Introducing the ‘armor of God,’ Paul roots all strength in the Lord, not personal willpower. The power is ‘his mighty power.’
The verses that follow show why: the struggle is against spiritual forces, so the strength and armor must come from God.
Common questions
How am I ‘strong in the Lord’?
