BELT OF TRUTH

The belt of truth is the first piece of equipment we are instructed to use. The belt stands for the truth of God's Word, the Holy Bible. Knowing the truth of God is essential for all believers in order to battle successfully against the devils schemes.

The belt held all the other equipment in place during a physical battle in ancient Roman. The same as the truth of God holds our spiritual weapons in place today.

As Christians we are to test all things and hold on to what is good (1 Thessalonians 5:21) -- the truth -- discarding all else.

The belt used in Roman armor held the soldier's sword. The belt of truth is needed in order for us to use our sword (the Word of God) effectively.
