To get the helmet you need to accept salvation from
the Lord. God sent His only Son to the world to pay the payment for our sin.
We, all of us, were born sinners. The Bible says, all have sinned and fall
short of the glory of God. Roman 3:23. What does it mean to fall short of God’s
glory? Part of His being, who He is, is glory. Glory is the beauty and splendor
of His Spirit.
God is Holy and because of who He is, He cannot be
around sin. That means, we cannot be around God. But wait, I and I’m sure you want
to live in heaven with God someday. Well if God cannot be around sin and we are
sinners, what can be done?
There needs to be a forgiveness or a substitute for sin. Someone who is perfect and without sin has to pay for sin with
his life. That Someone is God’s Son, Jesus Christ. Jesus being God is Holy and
without sin. Jesus willingly left His throne in heaven, came to earth as a
baby, grew up, and became a man. He took yours and my place and your and my sin
by dying on the cross. He paid for your sin making it like your sin never happened. His
blood covered it. We should have to pay and died for our sin. Jesus paid for
sin with His life instead. This is a free gift Jesus gave to us. We only need to do
one thing. To get to heaven, we have to trust Jesus and what He did as the only
payment for our sin. As soon as we trust Jesus, the heavenly Father sees us as
sinless. In this way, and this is the only way, we can be in God’s presence in
heaven someday.
I trusted Jesus as my Savior when I was a child.
From that moment God declared me “not guilty.” Also, I was given the Helmet of
Salvation along with other parts of my armor. The Helmet of Salvation protects my
head from wounds Satan wants to inflict upon me.
Any soldier knows a helmet is a vital piece of
protection. There are all different kinds of helmets to protect your head. You
may wear a helmet riding your bike. Rock climbers were helmets. Most people who
ride motorcycles wear helmets. Any sport or were your head could be damaged, requires
people to wear helmets.
In ancient times, soldiers wore helmets.
Remember, I said the Bible says our fight is
against the Devil, or Satan. Our invisible helmet protects us against Satan’s
attacks. We need to mentally, emotionally, and spiritually put our helmet on along with the other parts of our invisible armor. God can see it.
Satan can see it. Reading God’s word and praying prepare us for the fight
against Satan. The first step is making sure you have the helmet of Salvation.
Have you received Jesus as your Savior? If not, pray or talk to God now. Tell
Him you are sorry and ask Jesus to be your Savior. At that moment, Jesus will
come and live in your life. He will walk with you and help you. All you have to
do is trust in Him.
I would love to hear from you. Please leave a

you my love and hugs.
Keep working on our memory work: Ephesians 6:13-18 Therefore
take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil
day, and having done all, to stand.14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist
with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod
your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the
shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of
the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the
Spirit, which is the word of God; 18 praying always with all prayer and
supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance
and supplication for all the saints—
