This was a helpful article. I was looking for any information on the order of the armor. Thank you for your help.
The only correction I would make is that the believer is no longer under the wrath of God. All of His wrath was poured out on Christ on the cross. "There is therefore no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." Since we are in Him, God sees us as "holy and blameless" (Eph. 1:4) The unbeliever is under God's wrath, though, and only as he puts his trust in Christ is he mercifully pardoned and set free.
Thanks for your comment! Yes, I completely agree with you. That's what I was trying to describe in that last main paragraph. You just said it more straightforward than I did! Once we are saved, that wrath is deflected from us onto Christ, who bore all of that wrath on the cross. And I'm so thankful he did!
