John Bunyan is completely wrong here (in the armor of God in Ephesians 6) because he does not see salvation clearly; he passes on experiences without starting with “being in Christ.” In his book The Pilgrim’s Progress, you will not find anyone who calmly and peacefully says, “If God is for us, who can be against us?” We have to go through the world, but we are “in Christ”—a new position we have come into; you never find that in Bunyan. I find the pence in him, but not the pounds in the account. (JND)
