Definition for Armor of God A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Armor of God: The Bible says to "put on the full armor of God." Thought this might seem like a call for military action, it is merely a memory aid to help people remember key items needed to prevail in spiritual conflict, namely: truth, righteousness, sharing the gospel, faith, salvation, and the Bible (the only offensive tool of the group). Paul, in Ephesians 6:11-17, paints a word picture using the soldier of the day (with which readers would have been most familiar) connecting his essential gear with these key spiritual elements. To recall Paul's list, readers needed only envision a soldier in uniform, associating each spiritual element with its physical counterpart:
It's not about a physical fight (which many have missed throughout the ages), but instead a spiritual conflict for which followers of Jesus must be prepared to engage in using: truth, righteousness, sharing the gospel, faith, salvation, and the Bible.
