Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. |
Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. |
The Armor of God is an expression used in the Bible to symbolize the combat equipment of a Christian soldier who fights against spiritual wickedness.
When our brave soldiers fight for our country, they wear protective armor. No soldier would go into battle without it.
Paul urges Christians to protect themselves in battle each day with godly attributes of armor such as truth, faith, righteousness, peace, and the Word of God.
Think about this today as you go out into the world. We'll be studying the Armor of God through the remainder of this week.
