Ephesians 6:10-18
Verses 10 to 14a -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....
THE BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS (v.14b) - ........with the breastplate of righteousness in place,
Righteous - meaning acting in accord with divine or moral law; free from quilt or sin; morally right or justifiable.
You are righteous in Christ Jesus, not because of what you've done but because of what He's done. II Corinthians 5:21 says For God made Christ who NEVER SINNED to be the OFFERING for our sin, so that we could be MADE RIGHT with God through Christ. Romans 5:18-19 also explains that, we were ALL born into ADAM's PHYSICAL family; the family line that leads to certain death. All of us have reaped the results of Adam's sin. We have inherited his guilt, a sinful nature, which is the tendency to sin and God's punishment.
However because of Jesus, we can TRADE JUDGEMMENT for FORGIVENESS. Christ offers us the opportunity to be born into HIS SPIRITUAL FAMILY. The family line that begins with forgiveness and leads to eternal life. If we do nothing, we receive death through Adam, but if we come to God BY FAITH, we receive LIFE through Christ and that makes you right standing with Christ. So today i want you to declare boldly to yourself: I AM THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS and put on that breastplate. Have a nlessed day.
