THIN PLACES | The Helmet of Salvation

Paul tells us to take up the helmet of salvation because the battle is not only around us but also at the level of the mind. The enemy traffics in despair, confusion, condemnation, and forgetfulness, seeking to cloud our vision and unsettle our hope. But salvation guards the head by reminding us who Christ is, what he has done, and where the story is going. In Jesus, we have been saved, are being saved, and will be saved. The helmet of salvation protects the mind with hope, steadies us in the midst of attack, and teaches us to live from the certainty that our future belongs to Christ.
