Take the Helmet of Salvation

Those of us who have served in the Armed Forces know how important one’s helmet is. To go into conflict without your helmet would be like scuba diving 100 feet below the surface with no air in your tank!

This really is the Lord’s helmet that you are to wear. And Jesus is filled with hope! 1Thessalonians 5:8

ESV says, “But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation.” (Bold added)

“The helmet of salvation protects against discouragement, against the desire to give up, giving us hope not only in knowing that we are saved, but that we will be saved. It is the assurance that God will triumph. One of Satan’s most effective weapons against us is discouragement. When we are properly equipped with the helmet of salvation, it’s hard to stay discouraged.”¹ (Bold added)

Let us pray for each other that our Lord’s wonderful Helmet of Salvation is worn and securely fastened today.
