Armor of God

The Content:

Alma 43

Verse 38

While on the other hand, there was now and then a man fell among the Nephites, by their swords and the loss of blood, they being shielded from the more vital parts of the body, or the more vital parts of the body being shielded from the strokes of the Lamanites, by their breastplates, and their armshields, and their head-plates; and thus the Nephites did carry on the work of death among the Lamanites.

The Comments:

Not many of the Nephites were badly hurt due to their armor.

Check out Ephesians 6:12-17

I won't go out of control with this one (and believe me, I could), but I will make a quick list of the spiritual likening of the armor of God.

Loins girt about with truth-Guard yourself with what you know is right

Breastplate of righteousness-Protect your heart behind obedience

Feet shod with preparation of the gospel of peace-Walk in the correct paths

Shield of Faith-Faith will shield you from temptation (Fiery darts of the wicked, which is pretty awesome, I must add)

Helmet of Salvation-Salvation comes through the atonement. Your head is the most important part of your body, and salvation is the most important part of your eternal existence.

There are loads of other things to say about this, but I will refrain. Anyone want to toss their ideas in here? Please do!
