Wearing His Salvation

Helmet of Salvation. This helmet is laying hold on what Christ did for us in salvation. It means use what you received at the new birth. Believe God. Take Him at His Word! A Roman soldier wouldn"t go to battle without a helmet. That would be foolish. Helmets were made out of two things: leather, with some patches of metal on it, or solid cast metal. A soldier never was far from his helmet. Nearly any object on the battle field could immobilize a soldier if his head was unprotected. So to the Christian soldier the meaning of the helmet is assurance of salvation. Warning: Lack of assurance brings defeat!
