In April 1521, Martin Luther appeared before his ecclesiastical accusers at the Diet of Worms.
They had given him the ultimatum to repudiate his unwavering faith in the sufficiency and perspicuity of the Scriptures.

Here I stand.’2

What is the armor of God?
The armor of God is faith in the gospel.
The armor of God is not something you pray on but someone you trust in.

Richard Coekin’s commentary on Ephesians
Contrary to what we might expect, when we look carefully at these pieces of armor in , we soon realize that truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation and the word of God are not virtuous actions that we are to start doing!
Paul is not urging us to be good.
Rather, they are all ways of describing the impact of the gospel.
The full armor of God, which our champion and commander, Jesus, wore into battle with Satan, is simply faith in the gospel, which the devil wants us to abandon.

It is his resources.
It is his victory.

It is his resources.

Living for Jesus
A mighty fortress is our God!
Did we in our own strength confide,
Our striving would be losing;
Were not the right Man on our side,
The Man of God’s own choosing:
Dost ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is He;
Lord Sabaoth His Name,
From age to age the same,
And He must win the battle.
