What is the Armor of God?
God has provided us a wardrobe to wear as we enter in battle each day. As you dress in the morning, you need to suit up in God’s armor. Ephesians 6:10-18 in the New Testament of the Bible lists all the components of the armor of God.
Belt of Truth: Buckle it securely around your waist. Know that God is with you every step of the way. He alone is the truth in life.
Breastplate of Righteousness: as you put on your breastplate, thank God for His never ending mercy towards us. He has given us righteousness when we follow Him. He will teach us every day if we open our eyes and ears to see and hear Him. The cross is an excellent example of God’s mercy to us. He gave His Son for us so that we may spend eternity with Him.
Sandals of Peace: without Him in our lives, we could not have peace. The “peace that transcends all understanding” (Philippians 4:7) is available to us only as we give our lives entirely over to His control. As you strap on your sandals each day, give your cares and concerns to Him and ask Him to carry them. God’s Peace will be left in their place.
Shield of Faith: another defensive weapon in our arsenal. We use this piece of armor to guard against the constant assaults by the enemy. Each morning as you pick up your shield, thank God for your faith. Faith that comes in knowing he will never leave or forsake you. (Deuteronomy 31:8)
Helmet of Salvation: when we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we are given this defensive piece of armor to protect us. We know that we have been saved to battle with Him here on the planet Earth. We can do so willingly, knowing that we will spend eternity with Him.
The Sword of the Spirit: Our only offensive weapon in the armor of God. Our sword is His Word, the Bible. With it we can slay the evil in the world as it presents itself to us. Read your Bible, learn His Word and memorize verses. Keep it on the tip of your tongue.
Dressed in this armor daily, we are prepared to enter the world. Without it we will be prey to attack. Think about each piece as you put it on. Thank God for supplying us with His armor to protect us.
