The Helmet of Salvation

Summary:

To become effective as a spiritual warrior we must put on the armor of God. The helmet of salvation protects that which we have appropriated and become in God by His Word. This piece of armor not only protects us form the assault of the enemy, but it houses all the living promises that God has made real to us and becomes the lordship of Jesus Christ in our lives.
