How do we know the breastplate of righteousness is essential for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

It is essential because it represents the imputed righteousness of Christ, which protects believers and preserves their faith.

The breastplate of righteousness is essential for Christians as it symbolizes the imputed righteousness of Christ, which provides protection against spiritual assault. Without this righteousness, believers are vulnerable to the accusations of self-condemnation and the temptations of sin. Paul emphasizes that we must 'put on' this righteousness daily, implying that our spiritual vitality depends on being robed in Christ's righteousness. This righteousness not only secures our salvation but also empowers us to live righteously, enabling us to stand firm in the face of trials and temptations.
