The putting on an armor is of much importance, let alone the importance of a FULL armor. You wouldn’t go out into cold weather half dressed, why would you go out into the battlefield half armored?

The minute we step out of our home, or even the minute we get out of our bed, we are faced with battles. People, situations, circumstances, that require our attention, fears, doubts, condemnation, frustration that is ready to attack us.

The enemy watches us like a roaring, hungry lion, seeking to devour, looking to catch us off guard. This is why Paul instructs us to put on the FULL armor.

When we have the FULL armor on, we are protected from the schemes of our enemy, we are ready for anything he throws our way, but when we are half-dressed, we are vulnerable and open for the enemy to attack.

As Paul says to the church in Ephesus, he speaks to us believers as well. Put on the FULL armor of God, so that you can stand against the schemes, and plots of the enemy. He is always planning, scheming, seeking to destroy. I have given you a way out!
