3. The Belt of Truth and the Breastplate of Righteousness (Ephesians 6:13-14)

Abstract

From Ephesians 6:13-14, Sue speaks about the two important elements of truth and righteousness in preparing to resist the devil. She describes the ancient defensive belt and breastplate and relates them to the necessity of our proper preparation for battle. We must know the truth as presented in God’s Word, believe it, and live according to it. We must also know the person who is Truth, Jesus Christ. We must possess the righteousness of Jesus Christ, who died on our behalf, in order to be in right standing with God. Sue concludes with a discussion of how to deal with guilt.
