“Christ Himself is the Christian’s _armoury_. When he puts on Christ, he is then
completely armed from head to foot. Are his loins girt about with truth? Christ 
is the _truth_.

Has he on the breastplate of righteousness? Christ is our _righteousness_. Are his
feet shod with the Gospel of peace? Christ is our _peace_.

Does he take the shield of faith, and helmet of salvation? Christ is that _shield_,
and all our _salvation_. Does he take the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word
of God? Christ is the _Word of God_.

Thus he puts on the Lord Jesus Christ; by His Spirit fights the fight of faith; 
and, in spite of men, of devils, and of his own evil heart, lays hold of eternal
life. Thus Christ is all in all.”
