THE HELMET OF SALVATION

Memorise:
And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: .. Ephesians 6:17

Read:
1 Thessalonians 5:1-10

Message

Today, I will continue my teaching on the full armour of God by discussing the helmet of salvation. A helmet is a piece of armour that covers the head. Your head is a part of your body that can be used to identify you, as evidenced by the snapshots used in identification cards. Wearing the helmet of salvation identifies you as a child of God and tells the devil to take his hands off you

It is unfortunate, however, that many believers remove their helmet of salvation when they get to certain circles, they don't want people there to know that they are saved. They try to conform to the world rather than being different. Romans 12:2 says:

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

When a Christian refuses to identify as a child of God that Christian is removing the protection from his or her head, and that is one delicate part of the body that will result in instant death if it is struck. Many people lose their salvation because they are trying to conform to the world. Keep your salvation intact by boldly identifying as a child of God everywhere you go.

The blood of Jesus, which was shed on the cross, is what gives us the gift of salvation. Those that are saved are of the light and not of the darkness, as seen in today's Bible reading. Hence, you must behave as a child of light at all times. Matthew 7:16 says that you can identify those who are saved by their fruits. If you start exhibiting fruits that are not of God, your helmet of salvation is off, and that spells trouble because on the last day, when Jesus comes back to take His own to be with Him, He will only take those who still have their helmets of salvation on. This is why you must work out your salvation with fear and trembling (Philippians 2:12). Don't assume that you still have your helmet of salvation on just because you have been going to church or even because you are a pastor. Check your salvation at all times to be sure that you are still standing. 1 Corinthians 10:12 says that you should take heed if you think you are standing, lest you fall.

Bible In One Year:
Psalms 43-49

Hymn:
O What A Wonderful, Wonderful Day

Key Point:
Your helmet of salvation identifies you as a child of God. Make sure you have it on at all times.

King James Version

1 Thessalonians 5:1-10

But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. [2] For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. [3] For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. [4] But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. [5] Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. [6] Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. [7] For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. [8] But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. [9] For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, [10] Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
RCCG Hymn

O what a wonderful, wonderful day

  1. O what a wonderful, wonderful day
    Day I will never forget;
    After I'd wandered in darkness away,
    Jesus my Saviour I met.
    O what a tender, compassionate friend
    He met the need of my heart;
    Shadows dispelling. With joy I am telling.
    He made all the darkness depart!

    2. Heaven came down and glory fill my soul.
    When at the cross the Saviour made me whole;
    My Sins were washed away
    And my night was tuned to day
    Heaven came down and glory filled my soul!


  2. Born of the Spirit with life from above
    Into God's family divine.
    Justified fully thru Calvary's love,
    0 what a standing is mine!
    And the transaction so quickly was made
    When as a sinner I came.
    Took of the offer Of grace He did proffer
    He saved me, O praise His dear name!
  3. Now I've a hope that will surely endure
    After the passing of time;
    I have a future in heaven for sure.
    There in those mansions sublime.
    And it's because of that wonderful day
    When at the cross I believed;
    Riches eternal And blessings supernal
    From His precious hand I received.
