Kids need to know about God's Protection that comes from the Armor of God.
Kids also need gods protection because they are still learning about the world and how to behave in it. They may not know right from wrong, and they may not know what is safe and what is dangerous.
Gods can help kids stay safe by watching over them and helping them make good decisions. They can also provide strength and guidance when kids are going through tough times. Kids need gods protection because they are our future, and we want them to grow up healthy and happy.
Ephesians 6:10-20
6:10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his power.
6:11 Put on the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
6:12 For our struggle is not against enemies of blood and flesh, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
6:13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to withstand on that evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm.
6:14 Stand therefore, and fasten the belt of truth around your waist, and put on the breastplate of righteousness.
6:15 As shoes for your feet put on whatever will make you ready to proclaim the gospel of peace.
6:16 With all of these, take the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
6:17 Take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
6:18 Pray in the Spirit at all times in every prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert and always persevere in supplication for all the saints.
6:19 Pray also for me, so that when I speak, a message may be given to me to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel,
6:20 for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it boldly, as I must speak.
Ephesians 6:10-18 urges Christians to put on the armor of God in order to be able to stand against the Devil's schemes. The armor of God is described as consisting of truth, righteousness, faith, salvation, and the word of God.
One interpretation is that this armor protects children from the temptations and lies of the Devil. It also gives them strength and courage to stand up for what is right, even in the face of opposition. And finally, it provides a secure foundation for their faith that will help them withstand the trials and tests of life.
