God's armour in the Bible: Creative activities for your children's ministry
The armor of God is a powerful metaphor that appears only once in the Bible, in the letter to the church in Ephesus written by the Apostle Paul.
In this passage, Paul describes the elements of spiritual armor that Christians can use to stand firm in their faith in the face of adversity. These include the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the shoes of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit.
These visual images are drawn from the military gear worn by Roman soldiers, and serve as powerful symbols of the spiritual protection that God offers to his followers.
On this page, you will find a range of creative ideas, resources, and activities related to the topic of God's armor, which you can use in your Bible lessons, kidmin, kids' ministry, elementary school, or homeschooling.
