The Armor of God

We are at war! What are you wearing?

We are at War ď‚– ď‚™ 1 Pet 5:8 Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. ď‚™ Eph 6:12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Christians are, moreover, born for combat‌ -Pope Leo XIII (1890 A.D., SAPIENTIAE CHRISTIANAE)
