DRESS FOR BATTLE 3

TRUTH AND RIGHTEOUSNESS

Ephesians 6:14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

To stand in the day of battle we must have our strength in truth. We can not stand upon tradition or upon that which is popular and agrees with everyone else. The truth is plain. Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life."
The truth is that Jesus is the only one who can give us strength in spiritual warfare. If we clothe ourselves in His righteousness by accepting Him as our Lord and Savior then He will give us victory.
Clothed in our own righteousness we are doomed and bound for spiritual defeat.
The breastplate is to protect the heart. The greatest way to protect your heart is to invite Jesus into it.

  1. remember even our armor has to be cleansed daily. It is not something to put on and take for granted
