Many of us got new clothes for Christmas
I love the way I look in new clothes
I look good... I look different... I look fresh
This morning... I want to give you some clothes for the NEW YEAR
SO YOU LOOK GOOD...DIFFERENT...FRESH
Ephesians 6:10-17
The armor of God... Looks good on you
For every piece of clothing CHRIST HAS FOR YOU.... SO DOES SATAN
1. Gird you waist with truth... (some trans. says BELT of truth)
This has always caused division in the BODY OF CHRIST
We got the truth...No we do...
Believe like us you’ll go to heaven.. Believe like them you’ll go to Hell
It is important... To know what you believe... And that it’s truth
BIG ARGUMENT.... “The Bible can mean different things to different people”
He only meant one thing, You can use how you want.
He didn’t mean different things...HE MEANT ONE
Jesus said, JOHN 14:6 ... I am the way... the truth.... the life
Truth is not something it’s someone.... JESUS IS TRUTH... Gird you waist with him
If Christ want you to wear truth.... Satan want you to wear lies
When you believe a lie...about God... Yourself... Someone Else
If Jesus is the TRUTH.... ANYTHING TO GET YOUR EYES OFF OF HIM
2. Breastplate of Righteousness
The Revelation of RIGHTEOUSNESS... Is VITAL TO CHRISTIANS
If you don’t know what you are... HOW CAN YOU LIVE PROPERLY
If a bear doesn’t know he’s a bear...Won’t hibernate
If a fish doesn’t know he’s a fish.... Might try living in the desert
You have to know who and what you are... YOU ARE RIGHTEOUS
1 John 3:7 Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous.
If Christ is your Savior.... YOU ARE RIGHTEOUS
Satan wants you to wear... UNRIGHTEOUSNESS
“I’m no good” “I’m an old sinner” “I Don’t measure up” “How could god love me
If Satan can get you to wear unrighteousness... Won’t know how to live
