Armor of God

So, this morning I was reading in Ephesians 6:10-13 and it was talking about the armor of God. But, reading it today really opened my eyes. When I hear my Sunday school teacher talk about it I get an idea that well..... it's a kid thing. But reading this today I realized that, the armor of God is a real thing that will help you with your relationship with God.  Here is how my study bible explains the armor of God.

Belt - Truth, Satan fights with lies, and sometimes his lies sound  like the truth; but only believers have Gods truth which can defeat Satan's lies

Breastplate - Righteousness, The devil often attacks our heart, the seat of our emotions, self-worth, and trust. God's righteousness protects our heart, and ensures his approval.

Foot gear - Readiness to spread the Good News, Satan wants us to think that spreading the gospel is hopeless a waste of your time, but the foot gear God gives us encourages us to proclaim the true peace that is available in God - news everyone needs to hear.

Shield - Faith, What we see are attacks from Satan in the form of, insults, setbacks, and temptations. But the shield of faith protects us from Satan's flaming arrows. And victory is ours!

Helmet - Salvation, Satan wants to make us doubt God, Jesus, and our salvation. The helmet protects our mind from doubting God's saving work for us.

Sword - Word of God, The sword is the only weapon of offense in this list of armor. There are times when WE need to take the offensive against Satan. When we are tempted, we need to trust in the truth of God's word.

Hope this helped you as much as it did for me!
