Let’s Explore…The Belt Of Truth

“Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist.” Ephesians 6:14

Roman soldiers wore a linen undergarment next to the skin, covered by a woolen one–piece tunic that came down to the knees.
It was shaped like a “T” with a hole at the top for the head. It was sewn on two sides and generally had half sleeves.
At times they were dyed, but most often they were the natural color of wool.
The colored tunic was usually reserved for army commanders, the wealthy or those of the government status.
Over the tunic they placed a breastplate.
At the bottom of the breastplate they wore a heavy belt made of connected bronze plates and leather with a buckle very similar to what we use today.
See illustration above
This belt had one function. It served as the foundation on which the sword, dagger and metal apron were attached.
Application:
Jesus Is The Truth
This belt was foundational for battle.
In short, it supported the weapons that allowed the soldier to fight.
The belt is a reminder that Jesus is the foundation for spiritual battle.
He is the truth that stands against the lies and deception of Satan. “Jesus is the way and the truth” – the very basis for life.
To win our spiritual battles our fight must be anchored to the truth found in Jesus alone.

Will You Put On The Belt Of Truth Today?

May He Bless You and Keep You Today!
With Great Love
IN HIS SERVICE
