Your Divine Battle Gear: The Armor of God

2. The Breastplate of Righteousness
This isn’t about your own achievements, but Christ’s righteousness covering you. It protects your heart from the enemy’s accusations, declaring you accepted and loved by God.
“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

Want to know how each piece protects you? The full strategy is coming…
The Ultimate Weapon: Prayer
