Abiding in the truth
“Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth” (Ephesians 6:14)
The first element of the armor of God is “the belt of truth”. In order to understand why a belt would be important in battle, we need to know that Roman soldiers wore loose-fitting tunics. These clothes could hinder a soldier’s movement in battle, and were therefore tied with a belt around his waist. Without a belt, one could easily stumble – which is extremely dangerous in battle.
Likewise, Christians who don’t know the truth, can easily “stumble”. They are easily misled by Satan, who is called “the father of lies” (John 8:44) and makes them believe false teaching. Moreover, these believers are easily sidelined by adversity, because they know little about God and spiritual life.
Knowing and understanding God’s truth, as it is revealed in the Bible, is of fundamental importance for a Christian. In John 8, Jesus says: “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
Are you protected by the belt of truth?
