The Breastplate of Righeousness
Continuing in the series on the full armor of God we hear about the breastplate of Righteousness.  Following closely on the heels of the Belt of Truth, the Breastplate of Righteousness is the second in the lineup of extremely important weaponry the Christian needs in their life.  Without this righteousness that comes only from faith in Jesus Christ our armor is incomplete. This armor is our outward actions and inward attitudes that support our beliefs.  It isn't just proper Christian etiquette, like being kind to one another, it is much more.  When the Bible says put on the full armor of God and we don't, we are being disobedient to Christ.  We are in shorts and flip-flops on our own.  Not in the battle gear that Christ requires us to be in.  But we can't find this gear on our own, it comes only from Biblical truth, which is the word, and Faith.
 
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit,which is the word of God.

    The Belt of Truth, Nothing but the Truth.
    Ephesians 6 speaks about 

    The Armor of God

    10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. 12 For our struggle is not against [e]flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. 14 Stand firm therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 [f]in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
