What does it mean to “put on the breastplate of righteousness” in Ephesians 6—and how does that actually help when spiritual warfare feels personal? In this episode of The Bible Show, Sam and the team unpack why righteousness isn’t something you earn through moral perfection, but something received from Jesus—and why that truth protects your heart when accusation, shame, and fear hit. You’ll also see how the “breastplate” imagery reaches back into the Old Testament (including Isaiah 59:17) and why Paul’s armor language connects to passages like Romans 13:12 and Galatians 3. If you’ve ever felt like your standing with God rises and falls with your performance, this conversation brings clarity—and a practical way to “stand firm” in the daily fight. Like what you hear?
