The Armor of God: How Christians Stand Firm in Spiritual Warfare

Spiritual warfare is real, but God has not left His people unprepared. In Ephesians 6:13–17, the Apostle Paul describes the armor of God: truth, righteousness, the gospel of peace, faith, salvation, and the Word of God.In this episode of Contending for the Word Q&A, Dave Jenkins explains what the armor of God is, why Christians must depend on God’s provision rather than their own strength, and how believers can stand firm against temptation, discouragement, deception, and spiritual opposition.The armor of God is not a mystical formula or physical protection. It points Christians to the spiritual realities God has provided through His Word and grace. Believers are not called to chase the enemy or fight in their own strength. They are called to stand firm in the truth God has revealed.
