Message 5
The Belt of Truth
You:
Grideth up your loins
KJV
What the heck does that mean?
How does a person “grideth their loin”
Now it’s obvious in context what it means.
She is going to prepare herself to do some task
It’s not an expression we use much.
Modern example
Job interview
Apply for a mortgage
Pull up yourself bootstraps
Suck it up buttercup
Ready yourself
We:
The tool belt
Many carpenter will wear one.
What’s the purpose?
So, their tools will be ready at their side for the task ahead of them.
Tools of the trade – Tape measure – hammer – Pliers – Screwdriver – Pencil
This is the perfect illustration to what is Paul is talking about in our passage.
We are going to grideth up our loins today
God:
The Belt of Truth
Notice the passage
What is the belt of truth?
One: Above all Christ
We are to “put on Christ”
That’s weird how do you do that?
Become friends with God
Obedient to God’s will
(surrender your will and preferences)
Devote yourself to God’s service
(stop being selfish)
Two: Write God’s Word on your heart
Start memorizing scripture!
Three: Speak the truth
One lie and your credibility is ruined
You grieve the Holy Spirit when you do this.
You:
Putting on the belt of truth
Several benefits
Remember the belt is where the soldier carried all his weapons.
It’s where we grid our loins and prepare for battle
With the belt of truth, you will not fall victim to lastest false teachings
As a new you are most vulnerable
Lean on the wisdom of others
But anyone can fall victim
With the belt of truth you guard against apathy
The care and worries of this life can overgrow a heart without scripture
With the belt of truth you can fight the battles and trials of life
What are we learning?
Truth
We:
Grid up our lions
We are at war
