The shoes of the Gospel Peace provide the believer a firm foundation that makes us ready for anything the world, the flesh, and especially the devil may throw at us.In the Christian’s warfare, the Apostle Paul encourages us to have our feet fitted with the readiness of the gospel of peace. The idea Paul seeks to communicate is that our lives are to be readied and steadied—kept from fear—by means of the good news of peace. The good news is that we are at peace with God, and if God be for us, who can be against us? Why are we at peace with God? Because of the good news that Christ died for our sins. Because we have been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb, we can be ready to stand our ground. Just as the Roman soldier’s cleated boots allowed him to grip the ground firmly when in battle, so the good news of peace keeps us upright and grounded.
