An important part of putting on the belt of truth (Ephesians 6:14) is the truth about ourselves.
God tells us: “And they [God’s kids] overcame him [Satan] because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even to death.” (Revelation 12:11)
Here are some of the things that God tells us are true about ourselves. (This page is for use in conjunction to the post entitled Spiritual Warfare part 4.)
