Armor of Light

The concept of the 'Armor of Light' is derived from Romans 13:12, where Paul encourages believers to put on the armor of light as a metaphor for living righteously and being prepared for the return of Christ.

Paul wrote to the Roman church during a time of moral decay and persecution, urging them to stand firm in their faith and live as examples of Christ's light in a dark world.
