“And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness” (Ephesians 4:24).
The next part of our armor is the “breastplate of righteousness.” In Bible times, the breastplate shielded a soldier’s heart and other vital organs. To leave off the breastplate could be fatal. For the Christian, it is His righteousness that guards our hearts from Satan’s attacks.
Our righteousness is like “filthy rags.” Our writer states, “At salvation, Christ forgave our sins, changed our old sinful nature, and clothes us with His righteousness.” Ditch the rags. Put on His righteousness and watch Satan flee.
