A warrior standing firm in the Armor of God, inspired by Ephesians 6:10-24. The warrior wears a belt of truth, a shining breastplate of righteousness, sturdy shoes of the gospel of peace, holding a large shield of faith and a sword of the Spirit. The warrior has a helmet of salvation, and the scene is set against a radiant, heavenly backdrop. The light suggests spiritual strength and divine protection, with an ethereal glow surrounding the figure. The warrior looks ready for spiritual battle, exuding faith and courage.
