SUNDAY LESSON, 7/10/22
PREPARE FOR WAR: THE BREATPLATE OF RIGHTE0USNESS
Ephesians 6:10-14
Last Sunday we learned that “the belt of truth” is the anchor on which we take our stand for God. Without “TRUTH” we will be like what the apostle Paul describes as being “tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming”(Ephesians 4:14b). We realize from our study that Satan is the one pulling the strings of these “cunning and crafty men” wanting us to believe the devil’s lies.
Without “TRUTH” there can be no “RIGHTEOUSNESS”. Righteousness is simply living right and just lives before God in adherence to His will for us. Truth shows us how to live, and righteousness is putting it to practice.
Come join us Sunday as we delve into what it means to us as Christians “to put on the breastplate of righteousness.”
EPHESIANS 6:10-14:
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,
