BELTED WITH TRUTH
In our previous blog we talked about the importance of being equipped with God’s
armor so we can stand spiritually firm in His power. God’s armor is made up of seven
different pieces. Today we will look at vs 14 , “Stand firm then, with the belt of truth
buckled around your waist,” the belt of truth.
The purpose of a soldier’s belt was to hold all of his armor together. In the same
way spiritually, truth is what holds all of God’s armor together. So what is truth you ask?
John 14:6 Jesus says, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the
Father except through me.” Jesus is truth and how we learn more about Jesus is
through the Word which is Him in the flesh. In a world where it is difficult to know what
is true and what isn’t, and where the world is telling you that what ever is true to you is
truth, we know that the truth is Jesus and what ever He says is true. The Bible is our
guide for truth. Do you know the Bible/God’s Word so you can discern what is truth and
what isn’t? Do you have God’s Word hidden in your heart so you might not sin against
Him? Strap on that belt and fasten it securely so you know the truth, He can set you
free, and you can stand firm in His mighty power.
