Did you know that each piece of armor exposes the typical ways we are tempted? Armor is for one thing, protection. It is called the armor of God because it is everything God is and provides for the believer. The One who wants to protect us is our Heavenly Father. Each piece God graciously provides reveals the nature and methods of attack. God is showing us the face of the enemy reflected in the pieces of His armor! This book will help you suit up, fight temptation and stand strong in your spiritual life.

As Christians, we are commanded to “put on the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:12).” Athletes know and understand that they have a uniform to wear that identifies which team they’re on and have the proper protection for the sport. Christianity has a uniform and it was designed by God to protect us on the battlefield. We are, therefore responsible to wear our armor daily to “fight the good fight of faith.” ArmorUp is a daily reminder that we must not only prepare for the physical battles we face, but also for the spiritual battles.

The armor of God is a fantastic metaphor for the action we must to take in our spiritual lives. According to Paul, we are fighting a war against the unseen enemy of our soul. Who is this enemy? Not a person of flesh and blood we fight against Satan who is out to destroy, especially those who call themselves followers of God. This book will unpack the armor of God as described in Ephesians 6:10-18. This study will enable people to gain a deeper understanding of each piece of the armor and how to incorporate it into their lives. The DIALOG SERIES offers Bible-based, life-related studies for small groups, Sunday School classes, or personal discoveries. Each 7-week study is written by qualified and thought-provoking Christian thinkers to promote community and growth in Christ. A separate Facilitator's Guide is available for teachers/group facilitators.

“A battle manual for every Christian.” —Sinclair B. Ferguson The Christian life is a battle. We are in a daily struggle against the world, sin, and Satan. But God didn’t leave us to fend for ourselves. He gave us his own armor—armor that Jesus has already worn on our behalf all the way to the cross. The same power that raised Christ from the dead is now at work inside of us. This book unpacks each of the pieces of spiritual armor Paul describes in Ephesians 6, inviting us to take up the armor each day, all while resting in the finished victory of Christ and the assurance that our strength for the battle comes from him.

Putting on the Armor is an excellent 7-session study for new and growing believers seeking practical application of personal spiritual disciplines in order to defeat the enemy in times of temptation.
