full armor of God: Ephesian 6:10-18

1. The Belt of Truth( armor is truth (Ephesians 6:14)- This belt immediately
sets the believer apart from the world, since Satan is the “father of lies”
(John 8:44). Deception is high on the list of things God considers to be an
abomination. A “lying tongue” is one of the things He describes as
“detestable to Him” (Proverbs 6:16-17). We are therefore exhorted to put
on truth for our own sanctification and deliverance, as well as for the
benefit of those to whom we witness.
2. Breastplate of Righteousness (v.14)- A breastplate shielded a warrior’s vital
organs from blows that would otherwise be fatal. This righteousness is not
works of righteousness done by men. Rather, this is the righteousness of
Christ, imputed by God and received by faith, which guards our hearts
against the accusations and charges of Satan and secures our innermost
being from his attacks.
3. The Sandals of Readiness (Gospel of Peace) (v.15)- Verse 15 speaks of the
preparation of the feet for spiritual conflict. In warfare, sometimes an
enemy places dangerous obstacles in the path of advancing soldiers. The
idea of the preparation of the gospel of peace is that we need to advance
into Satan’s territory, aware that there will be traps. The message of grace
is essential to winning souls to Christ, and we must be prepared with the
gospel. Satan has many obstacles placed in the path to halt the propagation
of the gospel.
4. Shield of Faith (v.16)- The shield of faith in verse 16 “can extinguish all the
flaming arrows of the evil one.” When we bear the shield of faith, Satan can
cast all the aspersions, doubt, and dismay he wants, but they will be
ineffective. Our faith—of which Christ is “the author and perfecter”
(Hebrews 12:2)—is like a shield, solid and substantial.
5. The Helmet of Salvation (v.17)- The helmet of salvation in verse 17 is
protection for the head, keeping safe a critical part of the body. We could
say that our way of thinking needs preservation. The head is the seat of the
mind, which, when it has laid hold of the sure hope of eternal life, will not
receive false doctrine or give way to Satan’s temptations. The unsaved
person has no hope of warding off the blows of false doctrine because he is
 without the helmet of salvation and his mind is incapable of discerning
between spiritual truth and spiritual deception.
6. The Sword of The Spirit (The Wod of God) v.17 - Verse 17 interprets the
sword of the Spirit as the Word of God. While all the other pieces of
spiritual armor are for defense, the sword of the Spirit allows us to take the
offense. The sword analogy speaks of the holiness and power of the Word
of God. There is no greater spiritual weapon. In Jesus’ temptations in the
desert, the Word of God was always His overpowering response to Satan.
What a blessing that the same Word is available to us!
Pray in the Spirit - In verse 18, we are told to pray in the Spirit (that is, with the
mind of Christ, with His heart and His priorities) in addition to wearing the full
armor of God. We cannot neglect prayer, as it is the means by which we draw
spiritual strength from God. Without prayer, without reliance upon God, our
efforts at spiritual warfare are empty and futile. The full armor of God—truth,
righteousness, the gospel, faith, salvation, the Word of God, and prayer—are the
tools God has given us, through which we can be spiritually victorious. Satan is a
defeated foe.
