The Helmet

Protecting one’s head is critical in order to win a war. When the enemy wages a battle of the mind, the imagery of a helmet has even more significance. Paul connects the idea of a helmet with the truth of salvation. To defend against the enemy’s lies, believers need to remember who they are in Jesus and the cherished truth of their salvation. Paul talks of salvation throughout his letter to the Ephesians. He reminds them that salvation is not something they earn or achieve. They receive it through faith (Ephesians 2:8-9).
