...with
the breastplate of righteousness in place. Ephesians 6:14b
Our next piece of spiritual
armor covers our heart. This piece of spiritual armor, our breastplate, reminds
us we are no longer covered with sin. We have been made right with God. Our
hearts are cleansed from the punishment of death and darkness. Jesus overcame
everything and now our heavenly Father only sees us through the image of
Christ.
Wow! That is
something to hold onto! When you are filled with guilt or shame, when your past
comes back to haunt you, remember your breastplate of righteousness. Your heart
is covered with the blood of Christ. He made it right. He brought us back to
God.
God made
Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the
righteousness of God. 2 Corinthians 5:21
Jesus,
How can we thank You for exchanging our sins for Your
righteousness? We remain humbly grateful to You for all You have done. We are
covered with the spiritual breastplate, placed right over our hearts.
Amen
