stand with the breastplate of righteousness — a holy life.

I appreciate this quote that has aided me in my study of the believer's armor:

Note this essential piece of the armor:

Eph 6:13 ἐνδυσάμενοι τὸν θώρακα τῆς δικαιοσύνης.
Eph 6:13 ...by putting on the breastplate of righteousness.

The church today is often guilty of supplying believers with the paper armor of good advice, programs, activities, techniques, and methods — when what they need is godly armor of holy living. No program, method, or technique can bring wholeness and happiness to the believer who in unwilling to confront and forsake his sin.
I couldn't agree more.
