The Armor of God
Ephesians 6:10-18 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the LORD, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness. 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace. 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of Salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.
What is the Armor of God?
God's armor is far more than a protective covering. It is the very life of Jesus Christ Himself.
Paul wrote: Romans 13:12-14 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. 13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. 14 But put ye on the LORD Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
Paul was telling the Romans to ( put on ) the life of Jesus Christ, to live as He lived. When you do, He becomes your hiding place and shelter in the storm just as He was to David. Hidden in Him, you can count on His victory, for He not only covers you as a shield, He also fills you with His life:
John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
Since living in the safety of the armor means oneness with Jesus, we can expect to share His struggles as well as His peace. Remember, God has promised us victory in the midst of trials, not immunity from pain. Christian heroes who have been tortured for their faith continue to testify to the supernatural strength ( even joy ) that enables them to endure unthinkable pain:
1 Peter 4:12-13 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you. 13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
They affirm what Paul wrote in: Romans 8:37-39 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our LORD.
This wonderful truth has become reality to all who believe and follow Jesus Christ. When you put on His armor, His life surrounds you, keeping you safe, close to Himself and free to be His precious friend and trusted companion.
So " put on Christ. " He is your victory! Galatians 3:27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

How do I put on the Armor of God?
This life in Christ begins with learning, affirming and trusting in each part of the armor. The first part is truth, God's revelation of all that He is to us, all that He has done for us and all that He promises to do for us in the days ahead. This enduring truth is written in the Bible, revealed by the Holy Spirit and realized through Jesus Christ. It cuts through all the world's distortions, deceptions and compromises. When you study, memorize, live and follow truth, it enables you to see the world from God's high vantage point. Putting on the first piece of the armor means feeding on truth through daily Bible reading and making it part of yourself. To put on the " full armor " and enjoy a daily and eternal loving relationship with Jesus Christ, thank Him for what He has shown you in His Word.
