Put a Helmet On!

Eph6:17  Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

Eph 6:17  Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

1Jn 4:8  But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love. 

1Jn 4:10  This is real love—not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins. 

There is a comedian who uses the statement, "Put a helmet on!" as a way of poking fun at people who do or say silly things." Truth is we all get silly if we listen to the lies of Satan and let them take control of our thoughts. So God has provided a Helmet of Salvation for us.

One of the biggest things Satan uses in his relentless attacks is a simple question, "Hath God Said?"  Then he continues by trying to explain away what God "hath said".

This is why the Helmet of Salvation is so very important. Rom 12:2  Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect. 

The Helmet of Salvation is the truth that God is who He says He is and that He loves us and that we are His children if we have believed on the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation.  

Some trial comes into our lives and Satan is right there saying, "If God really loved you..." That is when you had better have that Helmet of Salvation on.  Here is a good and simple way to put it on right now if you haven't already done so today.

Sing it with me...

Jesus loves me this I know

For the Bible tells me so

Little ones to Him belong

They are weak but He is strong

Yes Jesus loves me

Yes Jesus loves me

Yes Jesus loves me

The Bible tells me so

A child's song? Really, Brother Steve? Yes a child's song with the most precious and powerful message ever proclaimed. Sing it until you believe it so much that no matter what comes into your life you truly believe that God loves you and that He will work all things together for your good. Rom 8:28.

Today sing it, believe it and share it.

Love in Christ,
