The breast-plate was armour for the vital parts; so is the righteousness of Christ: it is a perfect protection from every stroke of every enemy. He that wears it upon his heart, believing in the life and death of Emmanuel, has armour proof against all weapons. If the strength of his adversaries could be collected into one arm, which was to strike one mighty blow, his breast-plate would ward it off. The armour of God could not be hurt. The soldier with it on cannot perish, but shall have everlasting life. Therefore, covered with this invincible breast-plate, he may face the stoutest foes, and attack them without fear. He may march on undaunted, "having his feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace."
