Teaching Series•EP 137•Armor of God•Part 2 of 7

Belt of Truth

When we’re not truthful, we become vulnerable. Paul’s description of the belt of truth as part of the whole armor of God corresponds to the cingulum that protected a Roman soldier’s most vulnerable parts. No matter how big or strong a Roman soldier was, a strike to the groin could bring him down in an instant. The cingulum provided protection so that didn’t happen. Likewise, when we’re not truthful, evil can drop us fast. By the end of this episode, you’ll understand why truthfulness is something we must incorporate every day in our struggle to stand firm against evil.
