Spurgeon "A beautiful feature in Gurnall's book is its richness in pithy, pointed, and epigrammatical sayings. You will often find in a line and a half some great truth, put so concisely, and yet so fully, that you really marvel how so much thought could be got into so few words." -J. C. Ryle

Finally, the Armor of God instructs the believer about the Armor of a soldier and a Christian. We are soldiers in the army of the Lord. In order to properly engage in spiritual warfare, one must be prepared for battle.
