Armor of God

n the Bible, the Armor of God is a metaphor for the spiritual tools that Christians can use to defend themselves against the devil and his temptations. The Armor of God is described in Ephesians 6:10-18 and a powerful theme for Sunday School Curriculum on the Armor of God.

The different parts of the Armor of God can be explained to kids in simple terms like this:

  • Belt of Truth: The belt of truth is a symbol of the importance of truth in our lives. When we live in truth, we are less likely to be deceived by the devil.
  • Breastplate of Righteousness: The breastplate of righteousness is a symbol of our right standing with God. When we are righteous, we are protected from the devil’s attacks on our conscience.
  • Feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace: The shoes of peace represent the importance of peace in our lives. When we have peace, we are better able to resist the devil’s attacks.
  • Shield of Faith: The shield of faith represents our faith in God. When we have faith, we are protected from the devil’s lies and deceptions.
  • Helmet of Salvation: The helmet of salvation represents our salvation from sin. When we are saved, we are protected from the devil’s power.
  • Sword of the Spirit: The sword of the Spirit represents the Word of God. When we use the Word of God, we can defeat the devil’s attacks.

The Armor of God is a powerful tool that can help us to live a victorious Christian life. By putting on the Armor of God, we can resist the devil’s attacks and stand firm in our faith.
