The Shoes Of Readiness and Peace
The Shield Of Faith
The Helmet Of Salvation
The Sword Of The Spirit

Let’s Explore…..The Helmet Of Salvation

“Take the helmet of salvation…” Ephesians 6:17

The Roman army helmet was usually made of bronze, although iron and leather were also used on occasion.
To protect the sides of the face, “cheek–pieces”, hinged to each side,
hung down and were secured with leather straps under the chin.
A “shelf” on the back of the helmet protected the neck and shoulders from arrows that fell from above.
At some point in the first century a “bill” was added to the front of the helmet along with bronze coverings above the ears.
Occasionally, depending on the particular Roman army unit or rank of the soldier,
the helmet might have been adorned with a colored horse hair crest.
Typically, these crests were ceremonial and were usually not worn into battle.
A leather liner on the inside made the heavy helmet a little more bearable.
Application: Jesus Is Our Righteousness
The helmet was essential for the survival of a soldier in battle.
Paul in using the word “salvation” indicates that the helmet is a source of total deliverance.
In Jesus, we can find deliverance in every situation, spiritual, emotional, and physical.
He has to be our source, our guide, our “way out”. We cannot deliver ourselves.

Will You Wear Your Helmet Of Salvation Today?

May He Bless You and Keep You Today!
With Great Love
IN HIS SERVICE
