God gives every believer a robe of righteousness, a ring of authority, and shoes of sonship, which reflect the glorious truth of our relationship with Him. In this three-part study designed for group experience or individual reflection, Pastor Robert Morris teaches: What it means to live righteously as God's children How we have authority over the enemy's schemes Why our relationship with God is by grace, not what we do
