How Do I Put on the Armor of God?
September 6, 2023
Summary
What is the armor of God? It is hard to put something on if you don’t first know what it is. Jon and Justin first help identify what Paul was using as the armor of God and then explain how the believers use the armor for their protection in their daily lives. The most important part of the armor is understanding what it protects, the acceptance of the believer before God.

Hi, this is Justin.
Today on Theocast, John and I are going to be talking about the armor of God in particular.
We're going to try to answer the question: How do I put on the armor of God?
We assume, if you're anything like us, that when you've heard this talked about in the past, the emphasis and the focus has been on you and your discipline and your diligence to put on the armor properly.
We're going to talk about that today.
And we're going to seek to answer this question as well.
When we're told to put on the breastplate of righteousness, whose righteousness is that?
If you're interested in hearing our answers to those questions, stay tuned.
We hope you enjoy the show.
If you're new to Theocast, we know that many people who start listening to us struggle with their assurance.
What does it even mean to walk by faith, or how do you rest in Christ?
So, we put together a free e-book called Rest, and it's where you can learn about the sufficiency of Christ and the differences between the law and the gospel.
And that's an important distinction.
If you'd like to learn more, just go to our website, theocast.org.
Welcome to Theocast, encouraging weary pilgrims to rest in Christ, conversations about the Christian life from a confessional, reformed, and pastoral perspective.
Here at Theocast, we are seeking to clarify the gospel, in other words, to take the clutter off of it and reclaim the purpose of the kingdom of Christ.
And your hosts today are John Moffat, who is pastor of Grace Reformed Church there in Spring Hill, Tennessee.
And I'm Justin Perdue, pastor of Covenant Baptist Church in Asheville, North Carolina.
So, yes, dear listener, this does mean that John and I typically do not record in the same location.
We do not.
