Orange peel analogy

"The whole armor of God will keep the divine light of Jesus Christ inside and the darkness of evil outside."

Bernard P. Brockbank

"We voluntarily came from the presence of God the Father to this mortal probation with agency, knowing we would have 'opposition in all things'. Our objective is to take upon us the whole armor of God and withstand 'the fiery darts of the wicked' with the shield of faith and the sword of the Spirit, to endure to the end, and to be worthy to stand and live in the presence of God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, for all eternity...... to achieve eternal life."  

 Robert D. Hales

Armor of God object lesson is to show what happens if we remove our armor, even piece by piece. By the time you remove all of the armor, the orange will completely sink.  It is not able to "stand" at all.the oranges FLOAT because they have their ARMOR on

Without their ARMOR on, they sink! We can compare these oranges to us and how important it is to put on our full armor everyday.

13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
