Paul finishes describing the final pieces of God's armor that the church is to be equipped with: the boots, the shield, the helmet, and the sword. First, the boots are equipped so that the church might herald the gospel. Faith is the church's shield, used to dispose of the enemy's evil devices. The salvation wrought by Christ is to adorn the head of his people as a helmet, again protecting them from the enemy. Lastly, the Word of God is to be equipped as a sword whose sole purpose is to enlighten the hearts of God's people with the truth so that they might ward off the lies of the enemy. This armor heralds God's glorious gospel while simultaneously defending it against God's enemies—so stand firm!
