Week 2 The Belt Of Truth Priscilla Shirer
Welcome to week 2 of our study on the Armor of God by Priscilla Shirer. We hope you have had a blessed week with your family and friends. In this week's lesson, we will be focusing on the Belt of Truth. As we dive in, we will learn about the importance of truth and how it sets us free.
What is the Belt of Truth?
The Belt of Truth is the first piece of armor mentioned in Ephesians 6:14. It is a part of the full armor of God which we must put on daily to stand against the devil’s schemes.
But what exactly is the Belt of Truth? It is a symbol of the truth that comes from the gospel of Christ. It represents our foundation of faith, which is the truth we stand on. The Belt of Truth helps us to stand firm in our faith and not waver in the face of opposition.
Why is Truth important?
Truth is important because it sets us free. In John 8:32, Jesus said, “you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” When we know the truth, we are no longer bound by the lies and deceptions of the enemy. The truth helps to dispel any doubts or fears we may have and it brings us peace and security. It is only through knowing and believing the truth that we can experience true freedom.
How does the Belt of Truth help us?
The Belt of Truth helps us in several ways:
- It helps us to stay grounded in our faith.
- It protects us from the lies and deceptions of the enemy.
- It gives us strength and confidence to stand firm in our beliefs.
- It helps us to discern what is true and what is false.
Without the Belt of Truth, we are vulnerable to the attacks of the enemy. We may fall prey to his lies and deceptions, which can lead us astray from our faith.
How can we apply the Belt of Truth in our daily lives?
Here are some practical ways we can apply the Belt of Truth in our daily lives:
- Spend time in prayer and reading the Bible. This helps us to know the truth and strengthen our faith.
- Guard our hearts and minds against the lies and deceptions of the enemy. This may mean avoiding certain media or people who promote false beliefs.
- Speak the truth in love to others. This helps to build up the body of Christ and bring glory to God.
When we apply the Belt of Truth in our daily lives, we are better equipped to stand against the enemy and live a life of faith and victory.
Conclusion
The Belt of Truth is an essential piece of armor that we must put on daily. It represents the truth of the gospel of Christ, which sets us free from the lies and deceptions of the enemy. By applying the Belt of Truth in our daily lives, we can stand firm in our faith and live a life of victory. Let us pray that God will help us to put on the full armor of God every day and stand strong against the schemes of the devil.
