Ephesians 6:14 "Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist…"
Paul used the picture of a Roman soldier in describing the spiritual armour. The soldier’s belt was not a fancy one, but a heavy duty belt which held the other parts of the armor together and in place. It held the sword. The truth known, lived by and spoken, is a powerful weapon against the devil who is a liar by nature. His mode of operation is deceit. The truth counters all the lies of the enemy, disarms him and sets people free to live and enjoy the liberty God gives to His children.
Everyone in the trap of Satan was netted through deception. Jesus described the devil as a liar from the begining with no truth found in him at all. When he speaks, deception is his objective. He manipulates his victims so well that they believe in his lies as truth. And they perish for that. Individuals of all walks of life without God are victims of deception.
The word of God is truth. Jesus,the Word incarnate, is the way the truth and the life. Being in Christ is being in the truth. In Him is no lies, because God doesn’t lie. Truth stands the test of time. No amount of lies can destroy it. Therefore, to be in the truth is to abide forever. Choose to live in the truth despite the so much lies in our world today.
3 John 1:4 "I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth."
Shalom children of God
