What does it mean to put on the full armor of God.

Below you will find videos explaining each piece of armor and how to wear it. 

The Shield of Faith.

The Sword Of The Spirit

The Shoes of the Gospel of Peace

What Does Feet Shod With the Gospel of Peace Mean?

In Ephesians 6, the armor of God includes covers for the feet.

A modern equivalent would be shoes or sandals.

It’s described as the preparation or readiness that comes from the Gospel of peace.  

As part of the armor of God that helps you stand against any spiritual attack, it’s an important piece.

But in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect

1 Pet. 3:15 

This means that you can always be prepared to take the message of God’s peace to the people around you. 

God has gone to the utmost to reconcile us to Himself through Christ

(2 Cor. 5:18).

You are now His ambassador.

You are the salt and light of the world.

The shoes are of peace because God’s peace is made available to people through what Jesus, the Prince of Peace did on the cross in dying for sin. 

The Gospel, or Good News, is that the sin that separated people from God has been paid for by Jesus.

Through faith in Christ and receiving this gracious gift of God, there can be peace and reconciliation with God.

Why is this part of the armor of God? 

It’s there as an encouragement so that even when times get tough, you can always share the message of God’s love with people. 

Even through times of discouragement or even persecution, you can stand and do God’s will.

You can tell people about the Good News of Jesus, the Gospel of Peace.

You put on the preparation or readiness that comes from the Gospel of peace when you say: “Lord, I’m ready to go whenever, wherever You call.”
