Breastplate of righteousness: Proactive preparation and intentional living

Romans 13:14 | Instead, clothe yourself with the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. And don’t let yourself think about ways to indulge your evil desires. 


2nd Timothy 2:22 | Run from anything that stimulates youthful lusts. Instead, pursue righteous living, faithfulness, love, and peace. Enjoy the companionship of those who call on the Lord with pure hearts.


  • How did Job prepare for the battle He faced BEFORE the battle began? [If you’re not sure, head back to Job 31]. 

  • How did Job’s actions line up with the two verses in our reading today? 

  • If a believer does not put on the breastplate of righteousness before battle, how likely are they to stand firm in the battle against sin? Why? How have you experienced this? 

  • According to today’s verses, how can you live proactively prepared in the fight against sin? Have you been living this way? If so, in what ways? If not, what needs to change?
