The term “Sword Series” was inspired by the Apostle Paul in his letter to the Ephesians when he urged the people to put on the “whole armour of God,” using the “sword of the spirit” as a metaphor for the “word of God” (Eph. 6:13-17). Jesus also used the sword analogy as a metaphor for the truth of the gospel—having the power to pierce the hearts of men (Matt. 10:34). The FCS is heeding this divinely inspired admonition to prepare ourselves spiritually by making this trademarked and copyrighted collection of gospel truth available free to the public.
