The Breastplate of Justice

Some of you might be a little confused by today’s title. If you are passionate about Scripture and have read about and studied the armor of God before, then you might be thinking: “I thought it was the breastplate of righteousness, not justice.” And you wouldn’t be entirely wrong. But you’re not entirely right either. And that’s what we need to talk about today. Justice is a primary theme that runs from the front of the Bible to the back, and those of us who follow Jesus are called to do justice. Unfortunately, this call to justice can be obscured by the language we use. So today, let’s talk about the breastplate of justice/righteousness and what it means for our lives.
