We are in a battle daily, so we must daily prepare for battle. One of the ways we daily prepare to stand firm in this battle is by daily putting on the breastplate of righteousness to protect our hearts from enemy’s attacks. We protect our hearts daily by daily choosing to trust and obey. The protection of your heart is vital because it is the core of your being, the center of everything you feel, think, are and do. If we don't want to be a war casualty, we must put on the breastplate of righteousness.
To truly love our neighbors like Jesus commands, our ultimate motive must be to love them, not just to “convert” them.
To become a mature body of Christ, forgiven people must forgive.
Our faith grows, not just by accumulating more knowledge or believing, but by following Jesus one next step at a time.
