7 by the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
7 by the word of truth,
“The word of truth” is the Word of God (2 Co 4:2; 2 Ti 2:15; Jas 1:18). It is the proclamation of God’s Word. Paul’s team carefully communicated God’s Word. They did not indulge in fancy doctrines created by man.
PRINCIPLE:
Ministers proclaim the genuine truth of Scripture without fear.
APPLICATION:
The primary foundation of ministry is to deliver unadulterated truth to the people to whom we minister.
