"Armor of God" in the BIble: Ephesians 6:10-18
This passage describes the "armor of God"--the set of spiritual disciplines that, when equipped and practiced daily, protect us from spiritual harm and make us effective servants of Christ. These practices on their own might be useful, but they become a truly powerful "suit of armor" when they're wielded together.

Full armor - a Christian perspective

Battle in the Bible: Ephesians 6:10-19
