The whole armor of God

The whole armor of God

Putting the whole armor of God entails belt of truth, breastplate of righteousness, helmet of Salvation, sword of the spirit, shield of faith and shoes to spread the Gospel of peace.

The belt of Truth

 The belt of truth is to hold steadfast our courage that God stand before us in every battle and He will never leave us nor forsake us. (Deut 4:31, 31:5-6; Joshua 1:9; Psalms 27:14; Rom 5:3-5).

Breastplate of Righteousness

The Breastplate of righteous is to confess sins daily as we repent toward living a Godly life (Rom 12:1-2; 1 Peter 2:11, 1:13-16; 1 Tim 4:7; 1 Cor 11:1-34) ,generally, upholding the two “love” that Christ gave us. (Matt 22:37-40).

Shoes to spread the gospel of peace

 The shoes or feet to spread the gospel of peace is the great commission (Matt 28:16-20) of Christians (believers of Christ) to propagate the good news that God has made friendship with mankind. (John 3:16; Rom 5:5; Rom 8:37-39; Eph 2:4-5).  It is a reunion of God and Man that we are not condemned to death but we are awarded the gift of eternal life if men believe so. Though temptations of the world prevails to test your shield of faith and helmet of salvation, God has made peace with Man, salved and salvaged us from the power of sin: the enemy’s Bondage over us but it is a free will to all to choose or not to choose as an act of love reciprocation on our side as men.  Love begets love- 1 Thess 3:5.  

Sword of the Spirit

The Sword of the Spirit is to read your bible and pray every day for us to grow spiritually and increase our intimacy with God. The word of God is a double edged sword, (Heb 4:12) it will teach us how to live right through the help of the Holy Spirit.(John 16:7, 14:26)

Helmet of salvation

 The shield of faith is only acquired when you receive the helmet of salvation. It is a strong belief that God has salve and salvage us from the flaming arrows of the evil one. We receive salvation, even though, we are His enemies (Rom 5:10). But God still loved us and yet we were sinners that He reconciled us through the gospel of Christ in which we stand by faith. (John 15:13).

Shield of faith

The whole armor of God will salve and salvage us to Christ as we have a Heavenly helper who works for good for who love God and do according to His purpose. For the world is full of trouble, the race is neither for the swift nor the battle (Ecclesiastes 9:11) for the strong but the battle is for God (Exod 14:13; 2 Chron 20:15; Deut 20:1; 1 Sam 17:47; 2 Chron 32:8) for it is a spiritual warfare for mankind between the Heavenly father and Satan with his dominion of the dark spirit world. (Eph 6:12)
