Topic: Helmet of Salvation
Text: Luke 21:34-36; Eph. 6:17
Aims
to analyse the concept of Helmet in the work of our Salvation and
to discuss the spiritual importance of having the Helmet of Salvation as Christians.
Introduction
Helmet is a hard or padded hat that is purposely meant to protect the head against fracture or total breakage during an accident. The human head is the most important of all parts of the body and it houses major sensory organs, and without the head, the whole body is useless. Salvation is deliverance from our sins and the harmful consequences which is eternal death. Therefore, as the head is the most important part of the body, so is salvation the most important part of our Christian. Without salvation of our souls, all other Christian livelihood is useless and in vain. Therefore, the spiritual helmet of salvation is the insulation of our minds against sinful suggestions, desires, and traps the devil may lay for us as it is analysed in our text for today(Lk 21:34-36).
