We equip ourselves by actively putting on each piece of armor as described in Ephesians 6:14-17.
Equipping ourselves with the armor of God involves a deliberate action of putting on each piece outlined in Ephesians 6:14-17. This includes the belt of truth, breastplate of righteousness, shoes of the gospel of peace, shield of faith, helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. Each component is essential for spiritual defense and requires a strong commitment to the truth of Scripture, reliance on Christ’s righteousness, and faith in God's promises. Furthermore, engaging with these truths in prayer and meditation will strengthen our ability to withstand the spiritual assaults we encounter.
