Is your belief system Real or Counterfeit? Do you attempt to Blend Truth and Myth by putting on some type counterfeit (false) Armor and call it a True Gospel? Please understand the better the counterfeit, the more deceptive is its power. Unfortunately some Christians and Churches across our country are doing just that. Please examine the following:
God’s Armor
A summary of the True Gospel
Made up of Six Parts.
1. The Belt of Truth -- The vital truth about God and His plan for redemption.
2. The Breastplate of Righteousness -- The truth about our need for the cross and God's righteousness.
3. The Sandals of Peace -- The gracious gift of the Prince of Peace to those who walk in His Truth and Righteousness.
4. The Shield of Faith -- Putting all our trust in the sovereign power and love of our King and His Word.
5. The Helmet of Salvation -- Keeping our eyes fixed on the hope of His victory today and forever.
6. The Sword of the Spirit -- His Word, hidden in our hearts, and wielded against any enemy to peace that might come against us.
These parts become all the more significant in light of the fact that Jesus, at various times, identified Himself before His disciples as:
· Truth
· Righteousness
· Prince of Peace
· Our Salvation and
· The Living Word
So when you "put on" God's armor, you "clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ." (Romans 13:12-14). Examine these entire 3 verses: 12) “The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. 13) Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. 14) But put you on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof. .
Jesus becomes your hiding place and your shelter in the storm. You can count on His Victory, for He not only covers you as a Shield, He also fills you with His Life.
