Truth is what true believers stand on. It provides for honest things in the sight of the Lord but also in the sight of men. We are to stand on the truth of the bible. We have to be sure that we are wearing the belt of truth. The belt refers to behavior, honesty,and life style.
Truth is all that matters to a true christian.
We must sow his truth we must preach the truth the whole truth not a opinion but GOD's truth. It serves two purposes it holds the sword at ready and it protects your belief. I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. Putting on sandals does not mean you are going to escape warfare . We need to be prepared and not shrink from serivce.
