so… we have prepared ourselves for the battle today… we have girded ourselves with the One who is Truth...
the next thing we need to do is add some of His armor… and… “having put on the breastplate of righteousness…” the Lord is talking about His very own righteousness… the “Righteousness of Christ”…
it is only found in His Person… His Person living within me... replacing this Philip person… it is not put on by my attempts to be righteous… my striving to do good things… my trying harder next time…. either He gives me His righteousness or I will have no Breastplate for the battle… nothing to protect me. from spiritual death..
Once again… what I need is simply Jesus…
