The phrase "Armor of God" is directly derived from Ephesians 6:11: "Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes" (New International Version). As a Biblical reference, the metaphor may refer literally to physical armor worn by God in metaphorical battles, or it may refer to vigilant righteousness in general as bestowed by the grace of God (Romans 13:12, New International Version): "The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light."
The full Armor of God quote outlines these aspects of belief: truth, righteousness, preparation of the Gospel of peace, faith, salvation and the Word of God.
