INTRODUCTION
THE COMPONENT PART OF THE AMOUR OF GOD AND WHY IT IS ESSENTIAL FOR THE CHRISTIAN WHO DESIRES CONSTANT VICTORY, NOT ONLY TO REALIZE ITS UTTERMOST IMPORTANCE BUT ALSO TO PUT THE WHOLE AMOUR ON ALWAYS.

TODAY WE SHALL BE STUDING THE BREAST PLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

WE PRAY THAT THE LORD WILL TEACH US HIMSELF IN JESUS NAME


1. WHAT IS RIGHTEOUSNESS?

TO BE RIGHTEOUS IS TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT IN GOD'S EYES.

GOD'S COMMANDMENT ARE RIGHTEOUS. IN CONTRAST, LAWLESSNESS IS SIN, AND SIN IS THE OPPOSITE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.

SO, TO BE RIGHTEOUS IS TO OBEY GOD
PSALM 119:72, 1 JOHN 3:4, 1 COR 15:34

2. HUMAN RIGHTEOUSNESS CANNOT MEET GOD'S STANDARD

THE WORD OF GOD STATES THAT MAN'S RIGHTEOUSNESS IS WORTH NOTHING AND IN FACT CAN ONLY BE COMPARED WITH A FILTHY RAG

3. WHY EVERY BELIEVER MUST PUT ON THE BREAST PLATE
RIGHTEOUSNESS APART FROM ENSURING PEACE FOR THE CHRISTIAN ALSO EMPOWERS HIM TO CONFRONT AND OVERCOME THE ENEMY.
