THE FULL ARMOR OF GOD (2)
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. The Full Armor of God
a) The Full Armor of God, described by the Apostle Paul in Ephesians 6:10-18, is our spiritual defense against attacks by Satan.
b) Now if we were to leave home every morning dressed like the man in this picture, we would feel pretty silly. Fortunately that's not necessary. The Full Armor of God may be invisible, but it's just as real, and when used properly and worn daily, it provides solid protection against the Enemy's onslaught.
c) The good news is that none of these six pieces of the Full Armor of God require power on our part. Jesus Christ has already won our victory through his sacrificial death on the cross. We only have to put on the effective armor he has given us.
d) In this illustrated, step by step study of the Full Armor of God, you'll learn the importance of wearing your spiritual armor daily and how it protects against Satan's attacks.
2. Breastplate of Righteousness
a) The Breastplate of Righteousness guards our heart.
b) A wound to the chest can be fatal. That's why ancient soldiers wore a breastplate covering their heart and lungs. Our heart is susceptible to the wickedness of this world, but our protection is the Breastplate of Righteousness, and that righteousness comes from Jesus Christ. We cannot become righteous through our own good works. When Jesus died on the cross, his righteousness was credited to all who believe in him, through justification. God sees us as sinless because of what his Son did for us. Accept your Christ-given righteousness; Let it cover and protect you. Remember that it can keep your heart strong and pure for God.
The End ...
