The Breastplate of Righteousness is your Spiritual Vest Against Satan's Accusations

What does the breastplate of righteousness protect?

The “breastplate of righteousness" is the righteousness of Christ. It is like a second skin, which protects you from spiritual assaults by the spiritual enemy.

God has already equipped you with the righteousness of Christ. According to 1 Corinthians 1:30, Christ became your righteousness, when you trust Him as your Lord and Savior, are clothed in Him.

Your Righteousness, thus making you upright and putting you in right standing with God. 1 Corinthians ‭1:30‬

You're right standing with God is called Righteousness. You as a born again believer possess the genuine righteousness which comes through faith in Christ, truly right standing with God, which comes from God by God's Divine persuasion – saving faith. Philippians ‭3:9‬

God made Christ virtually to be sin for you Who knew no sin, so that in and through Him you might become endued with the righteousness of God what he intended, approved and acceptable and in right relationship with Him, by His goodness.-‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭5:21‬‬

So, when God looks at you, He doesn’t see you in your sins; He sees you clothed in the righteousness of Christ. That is your position before God.

Practical Righteousness

The breastplate of righteousness guards your heart and mind against Satan’s accusations. You as a Christian wearing the breastplate of righteousness go through life and, no matter what happens, you find some victory in every situation.

In times of stress, in times of joy, in sorrow, in plenty, in want, there will be a consistent, Godly quality about your life. For you have the righteousness of Christ in you, so you can outwardly live the righteousness of Christ.

When you Really Know Christ Loves You, Then You Begin a Personal Relationship with Christ; and Learn how to love the Lord through His Word and through prayer and fellowship and worship . . .and love God with all your heart . . . The righteousness of God through his goodness and grace changes your life.

You “give up” the things of the world. They lose their lustful attractiveness and hold on you.

When you pursue the righteousness of Christ, the things that you hold dear, your “treasure,” will inevitably change. The things that you once coveted will no longer appeal; they may even make you uncomfortable. When you walk away from the enticements of the world, you won’t miss them, because God replaces them with something far better.

God Gives you a New Life in Christ Jesus, Whom He made your Wisdom from God, your Righteousness, your Sanctification, your Redemption.-1 Cor 1:30

You Put Jesus Christ First in All your Decison Making, And You Gain God's Perspective and Wisdom-All the Riches of God's Knowledge to Help you in every situation and circumstance of life.

For having been given the Spirit of Truth that you receive when you were born-again The Holy Spirit Himself Who Reveals Divine Truth, for Spirit led Victory in Every Confortation.

Finally The the breastplate of righteousness is you defense against Satan as the “accuser” (Revelation 12: 10). If he accuses you of sin, and IF he is right, you simply agree with the Lord about it and receive His forgiveness (see 1 John 1: 9). If the accusation is not true, you tell him to go to the cross and make his claim there; then we go on living, with the assurance that “there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” (Romans 8: 1, emphasis added). Being clothed with Christ is the secret to victory in this area.
