Taking Up the Full Armor of God

This is the first episode of a 3 part consideration of the spiritual armor Paul list in Ephesians 6. Before one can understand and interpret the various pieces of armor he must consider the whole suit on the Christian. A couple of verse in Paul's other writings can help as well as consideration of the context in Ephesians in which the armor is discussed. Romans 13:14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.
1 Thessalonians 5:8 But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation.
