“For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.” — 2 Corinthians 5:21 (ESV)
Why does Paul compare righteousness to a soldier's breastplate over the chest in Ephesians 6:14?
✨ PERSONAL LESSON
Look Down at Your Chest—You Are Covered
“For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.”
In Christ, the verdict is already in: forgiven, redeemed, and plucked like a brand from the fire. Let the Breastplate of Righteousness guard your heart today.
SAY THIS ALOUD
“In Christ I am the righteousness of God; condemnation has no claim on my heart.”
