God Gives Us the Armor He Uses Too!

The strength of the Lord is linked with the armor of God. The way we become strong in the Lord is by wearing 6 pieces of armor, and when each piece is put on and used correctly, we will be able to stand in the evil day. Having on the armor gives us the same strength God has. Not only does it personally equip us, but it identifies us as part of God's army and thus we have the protection offered by the rest of His army, including the angels. An important, yet often missed, aspect of this is that the armor is not only given by God, but He Himself uses it too. In this study we look at not only Ephesians 6, but also Isaiah 59:15-17, where we are told that Yahweh Himself put on righteousness as a breastplate in His war against injustice to protect Himself, and a helmet of salvation on His head for the same reason. We ask the question, why would God need a breastplate of righteousness and a helmet of salvation? Join us to learn the answer.
