Paul's letter comes to a close in Ephesians 6:10–20 as we discover what it truly means to “put on the full armour of God.” Paul’s calls believers to stand firm in spiritual strength, not human effort — to live as a Spirit-empowered community reflecting Christ’s character in a world filled with unseen influences from the powers of evil. Each piece of the armour — truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, and the Word — represents the character of Christ that we’re invited to “put on.”
This is not a solo fight — it’s a call to unity in the Body of Christ, empowered by prayer and sustained by love. Paul connects this spiritual armour to the prophecies of Isaiah and the mission of Jesus, showing that the armour of God is ultimately Christ Himself whose character does not bow to the powers but rather overcomes them.
