Paul was in prison, chained to a Roman soldier. He looked at the soldier's armor and got an idea!
He said, “Put on God's armor so you can stand strong against the devil's tricks.”
There's the belt of truth, the breastplate of being right with God, shoes of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is God's Word!
