A Christian must stand in the grace of God (Romans 5:2). He must be strong in the grace of God. “You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.” (2 Timothy 2:1). The Scripture says plainly that is is “good that the heart be strengthened [or established] with grace” (Hebrews 13:9). “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armour of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” (Ephesians 6:10,11).
All the armour of God is received by the grace of God. We did not pay for the “breastplate of righteousness” or “the shield of faith” or any other parts of that armour. It is therefore by drawing on the grace of God that we are going to be able to resist temptation and stand against all the temptations and trials that Satan wants to discourage us with and make us fall, if possible.
