The Armor of God | A Complete Ephesians 6 Bible Study Using the JOURNEY Method™

Explore Ephesians 6:10–20 in this Scripture-centered Bible study on the armor of God. Using THE JOURNEY METHOD™, you’ll observe the passage, understand its context, reflect on God’s character, and consider how to stand firm in the Lord’s strength.

Rather than treating each piece of armor as a separate technique, this study explains how the images work together in Paul’s teaching—and how they connect with the rest of Ephesians and the Old Testament imagery behind them.

Inside the study, you’ll explore:

• The belt of truth and how Scripture helps us recognize and answer deception
• The breastplate of righteousness, including the relationship between God’s grace and a life shaped by obedience
• Feet ready with the gospel of peace, and what it means to carry Christ’s peace into real relationships
• The shield of faith as trust in God amid accusation, temptation, fear, and uncertainty
• The helmet of salvation and the hope of resting in God’s saving work
• The sword of the Spirit and the importance of understanding and applying Scripture faithfully
• Prayer, perseverance, and support within the Christian community

The complete JOURNEY study includes opening and closing prayers, guided observation questions, contextual teaching, reflection prompts, a seven-day faith-building plan, space to apply the truth, and a personal review.
