Bible Discussion Thread

I know how to put on a shirt but how do I dress myself with truth, righteousness, faith and the other gear listed here? Rom. 10:8-11 indicates the method is to believe and verbally declare what the Bible says about us and we will never be defeated. Instead of will-power and religious determination we must know and declare who we are and what we have, being in Jesus. To put on righteousness I would read 2 Cor. 5:21, place myself in the promise and verbally declare it, i.e. Sinse I am in Jesus, I am in right standing with God! For faith, read a faith promise, receive it for your own and verbally declare it. Likewise with the other pieces of needed armor. Now, read v. 13 in our chapter and declare Because of the armor God has given me in Jesus, I will stand against all tricks of the devil. Thanks be to God who gives us the victory.
