Remember Paul said, “Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand” (Eph. 6.13). By saying the whole armor—Paul is telling us that every part of the armor is necessary if we want to with the battles against the devil and his schemes. Last week we learned about the first part of the armor were Paul said, “Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth…” (v.14), which begins with learning objective truth via the word of truth—God’s breathed word. But knowing the truth in not enough—there is more and today we’ll examine the second piece of armor we must take up—which is “…the breastplate of righteousness“. Righteousness is necessary for this fight—but what is the righteousness Paul is speaking of here? Is it our own righteousness, is it the righteousness related to our salvation, our sanctification? Or, the righteous manner in which we are commanded to live out our daily lives?
