Donning the Armor, Part I

Sermon Outline

In verse 13, Paul reiterates the urgency for the Christian to take up the full armor of God to be able to resist the evil of our day. In Ephesians 6:13-17, Paul gives six critical pieces of armor for resisting the evil one. You must prepare by:

• Girding yourself with the belt of truth (6:14a)
• Putting on the breastplate of righteousness (6:14b)
• Shodding your feet to share the Gospel of Peace (6:15)
• Taking up the shield of faith (6:16)
• Taking up the helmet of salvation (6:17a)
• Taking up the sword of the Spirit (6:17b)
