Episode 793: Be Set-Apart | Part Fifteen | Exploring Ephesians | The Breastplate of Righteousness Part 2

Leviticus 19:2 reads that Yahweh told Moses to tell the children of Israel, to “be set-apart for I, Yahweh your Elohim, am set-apart.” Yahweh considers His people, His chosen people, to be something of amazing beauty, great value and rareness. His desire is to show the whole world this set-apart nation–the ones whom He has redeemed and made as a shining city on a hill.Doing a deep-dive into the letter to the Ephesians, Rabbi Berkson unpacks verse by verse this Pauline epistle so that we can try to understand why Paul was continuously bringing in the concept of being set-apart into his letter.As he continues on the topic of the armor of Elohim, Rabbi Steve Berkson focuses our attention on the breastplate of righteousness.• Matthew 6:33 – Seek first the Kingdom of Elohim• Why do we worry? (Matthew 6:25)•The nations (Gentiles) seek for these things• 1 Peter 3:8-18 – Your calling is this…• Elohim’s ears are open to their prayers (1 Peter 3:12)• The armor of Elohim keeps us alive (1 Peter 3:14)• Be ready to give an answer for your expectation (1 Peter 3:15)• Acts 13:10 – This is what the armor protects you from• Acts 10:34 – Do this and you will be accepted by Elohim• Psalm 15 – Who gets to be in the tent of Yahweh?• Speak the Truth in your heart–do not deceive yourselfDon't miss out on new teachings every week.
