Battle Gea/The Breastplate


...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
