TOS016: The Belt of Truth

Published: May 17, 2018, 8 a.m.

“The first piece of armor in the full armor of God found in Chapter 6 of Ephesians, verses 10-17, the Belt of Truth.  This passage begins by St. Paul saying “Be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might.””   And this is key to understanding the armor of God.  The Belt of Truth is defensive in nature and helps us stand firm against the schemes of the devil.  John 14:6  “Jesus is the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except through me.”  Without truth we are lost.  Our best defense against Satan is the Word of God, His Truth & His Promises.  God's truths are revealed in the Word of God.  "Gird the loins of your mind" 1Peter 1:13 NAB and tuck away and rid yourself of anything that gets in the way of focusing on the Lord.  The devil lies and tries to confuse so it's important to know the Word and the Truth.  This is the best way to discern Satan’s lies from the word of the Spirit.
