In this message about “The Breastplate of Righteousness,” the focus is on the importance of spiritual armor in our lives. Just as a physical breastplate protects vital organs during battle, the breastplate of righteousness safeguards our hearts and souls from the attacks we face.
Righteousness, often defined as “right standing with God,” is central to this concept. It’s not about our own righteousness, which can falter, but about the righteousness that God bestows upon us. This divine righteousness offers us acceptance, kindness, and mercy, transforming us and making us stronger.
Even when we encounter failures or challenges, we can rest assured that God’s righteousness will sustain us. We are called to rely on Him, repenting and seeking forgiveness, knowing that His righteousness will never let us go. By embracing this truth, we can face the spiritual battles of life with confidence and resilience.
