Helmet of Salvation

How important is the Helmet of Salvation? Can't I get along in life with just faith?

What? Faith in What? The helmet of salvation is a very important part of the armor of God. Without salvation what is the point?

Think a moment about what part of your body is protected by an helmet. It's your mind! Your mind is protected by the Salvation that God provides through His Son. When someone claims to be a Christian but does not see the need to be saved they are only fooling themselves. They have been deceived.

You cannot be a Christian because your mom or dad or grandparent are Christians. You don't inherit your Christianity from your ancestors. You are not a Christian just because you do good things or because you are a nice person. You must be saved.

It is really quite simple. You realize that everyone has sinned against God. We cannot be perfect on our own. We need help.

God provided a way for us. He sent His only Son down to earth in the form of a man. Actually he started out as a baby. All we have to do is believe and accept the free gift.

The helmet of Salvation is simple. Believe and accept the Jesus is God's son and that he died for your sins. That's it. That's all. Simple.

Now the rest of the armor helps you grow in Christ and live in this fallen world but the helmet is simple. Now put that helmet on if it's not already on... If you need help ask someone who you trust and already has their helmet on.
