📚 Historical Context

Paul wrote this letter to the church in Ephesus around 60-62 AD while imprisoned in Rome. The imagery of armor would have been very familiar to his readers, as Roman soldiers were a common sight throughout the empire. Paul uses this military metaphor to help Christians understand that they are in a spiritual battle and need divine protection.
