“As the breast-plate defends the heart and lungs, and all those vital functionaries that are contained in what is called the region of the thorax; so this righteousness defends everything on which the man’s spiritual existence depends.” Adam Clarke
It seems some want to rely on the grace of God for righteousness without righteous living. Some want to live in such perfect harmony with their set of rules and regulations that any power of grace is forever lost. Self righteousness is paper armor. If the Lord show allow me enough character to put on His breastplate daily, then I shall not be harmed, for I shall be clothed in His righteous defense.
