*THE BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS*

*THE BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS*

Putting on the breastplate of righteous~Ephesians 6:14~

The Roman soldier would have fastened the breastplate around his chest. There were two types of breastplates. The first type of breastplate was fashioned by joining several broad, curved metal bands together using leather thongs. the other was a type of chain mail, constructed by linking small metal rings together until they formed a vest.

Both of these breastplates protected the soldier's vital organs. Not wearing one or the other in battle would mean that an arrow could easily reach a soldier's chest, piercing his heart or lungs.

~Isaiah 59~says the Lord puts on "righteousness as a breastplate," and goes to battle against injustice and corruption, restoring peace and order to the land.

God offers His own righteousness to every believer in Jesus/Yeshua the Christ. No one can gain righteousness by doing good deeds. We receive righteousness by having faith in the Lord Jesus/Yeshua.~Titus 3:5; Philippians 3:9~

Knowing that God promises his protection against the forces of evil for those who have faith in Jesus/Yeshua.~2 Thessalonians 3:3~

"The righteous will live by faith."~Romans 1:17~

~Romans 3:22~ righteousness comes from God through faith in Jesus/Yeshua the Christ to those who believe.

~Isaiah 59:17~"He put on righteousness as his breastplate"
   *righteousness as his breastplate. The Lord's armor is compared to the believer's armor in the battle against Satan in ~Ephesians 6:14~
