The Armor of God

Описание: In this episode of Theology Is Fun, Dr. Corey and Dr. Ben tackle one of the most misunderstood passages in the Bible: the Armor of God (Ephesians 6). Is Paul describing a Roman soldier—or is he doing something far deeper?

We show how the “armor” language is rooted in the Old Testament, especially Isaiah (Isaiah 11, 52, 59), and how the armor ultimately points to Christ as the Divine Warrior King. This isn’t about hype or “running amok” in spiritual warfare—it’s about standing firm in what Jesus has already accomplished: His righteousness, His salvation, and the gospel of peace.

If you’ve ever wondered what the Armor of God really means, how to interpret Ephesians 6 in context, and how spiritual warfare connects to the gospel, this one’s for you.

Key passages: Ephesians 6:10–18, Isaiah 11:5, Isaiah 52:7, Isaiah 59:17
