Ephesians 6:10-14

¹⁰ Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. ¹¹ Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. ¹² For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.¹³ 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 firm. ¹⁴ Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,

1. The Breastplate of righteousness protects us by allowing us to stand in the righteousness of Christ. Imputed Righteousness means the righteousness of Christ has been credited to the believer.
2. The Breastplate of righteousness protects us by reminding us that we are forgiven.
3. The Breastplate of righteousness protects us by leading us to a life of Christ-like character and conduct.

How can we live a life of righteousness?

• Desire to live in righteousness
• Get serious about our daily walk with the Lord
• Walk in integrity
