Armor of God

Watch the video above and talk about it with your family. Learn more

God has a really cool uniform that he wants Christians to think about putting on every single day.

In today’s lesson, we’re going to learn about a special uniform we get to wear as Christians. It’s not like a football uniform and it doesn’t come with a police badge. It’s really not clothes at all. We’re talking about God’s armor. The Bible says that when we trust in Jesus, we have the strength to fight against sinful things which are things that don’t honor God. This special armor helps us to do that. We get the Belt of Truth that helps us to know right and wrong. The Breastplate of Righteousness protects our hearts and reminds us that we belong to God. The Shoes of Peace helps us to be brave in sharing the love of Jesus with others. The Shield of Faith helps us to fight off the attacks of the enemy and reminds us that we have Jesus on our side. The Helmet of Salvation reminds us that Jesus has forgiven us and we have the hope of heaven some day. The Sword of Truth is our weapon, not to hurt people, but to fight off sin. The Truth is God’s word, the Bible, and it tells us how to live. So kids, remember your special uniform and be sure to put it on everyday.
