Helmet of Salvation

Humans, in their sincerity, realized the need to protect the head, which is the most vulnerable part of the body. In ancient times, soldiers wore helmets made of animal skin. Later, helmets were made of metal. Not only do soldiers at war wear helmets but also in sports activities like football or rugby and motorbike rides to protect against injury. Hamlet's on the battlefield saved the multitudes of warriors and soldiers.

Satan is working through our minds by attacking our thoughts. The deceiver, Satan has developed this technique since the Garden of Eden when he bombarded Adam and Eve’s minds and defeated them. Today when you look at the specific strategies satan is using to keep God’s people in defeat you will find out that it has to be on the battlefield of their mind. His primary strategy is to sow thoughts of doubt and unbelief into the human mind. Don’t repeat the same mistake that Eve did by giving the devil space in her mind. Satan will try to cause us to question God’s Word, therefore don’t listen to his lies. Many people fall into the devil's trap and live in defeat because of listening to Satan's lies. He always contradicts God’s Word and His supreme authority.

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ has well illustrated in their letters to Ephesians the importance of taking the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Ephesians 6:17 and put on the helmet of salvation. 

" but let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation". 1 Thessalonians 5:8. Eventually, the natural mind must be covered by God's helmet of salvation. The first battle begins in our mind waging the war in our thoughts. Therefore the only solution is to renew our minds to the word of God by captive every thought and bringing it to the obedience of Christ. We can also continue meditating on the word of God day and night so that we will be sure to obey everything He instructs us to do. What you think it will get to your heart and eventually come out of your mouth. Solomon said in Proverbs 23:7, For as a man thinks in his heart, so is he". Therefore our minds must be renewed as Paul said in Romans 12:1-2, ​" I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God".

When our mind is protected and renewed there will be clean thinking just like Christ.
