the BREASTPLATE of RIGHTEOUSNESS

“Christ made us right with God; he made us pure and holy, and he freed us from sin.” 1 Corinthians 1:30b

Today we learned about the breastplate of righteousness and how God gives it to us to protect our hearts, the most vulnerable parts of our bodies.

Righteousness is a big word. Do you remember what it means? How do we become righteous? Is it something we do or something God does for us?

Sometimes the Devil tells us lies like “God doesn’t love you,” or “You’re not good enough.” How can the breastplate of righteousness protect us from lies like that? What should we always remember about God’s love for us? Does it ever stop? Can we ever change God’s love for us?

God showed us he loves us so much by sending Jesus to die for us so that we could be free from sin. What can we do to show God that we love him?

Take a look at this song, Because You Love Me. It reminds us that part of wearing God’s breastplate of righteousness is making good decisions and to follow God’s better way.
