GOD’S ARMOUR
EPHESIANS 6:11
SO THAT YOU WILL STAND FIRM AGAINST ALL THE STRATEGIES OF THE DEVIL
TODAY we are looking at the BELT of TRUTH
and the Helmet of Salvation
Hey Guys
So I am all kitted up to go cycling, I have my cycling shoes on, my gloves and the last thing i am putting on for protection is my Helmut
Many sports have helmuts - hockey, horse riding, motor sports, cricket
and they all have the same funtion - to protect your head - and you head is where your brain sits
We must put on God’s Helmut of salvation
NOW
what is Salvation?
is being SAVED from SIN (being saved from eternal death)
HOW do we obtain SALAVATION?
By believing in Jesus
When Jesus was on the cross the criminal next to him asked Jesus to remember him in His kindgom
(he believe who Jesus was - Gods son) He literally met Jesus as he was dying
and Jesus said - today you will be with me in paradise. Luke23.40
Now Paul puts it very clearly in ROMANS 10 v 9
it involves your MOUTH - an outward action
and your HEART - an inward belief
If you openly declare with your mouth THAT JESUS IS LORD
(so do you tell others that Jesus is your Lord or are we embaraased)
AND BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART
That God raised him from the dead
THEN YOU ARE SAVED
SAVED FROM YOUR SIN
YOU HAVE SALVATION
So by putting on God’s Helmut on our head in prayer
We KNOW IN OUR HEAD that we are saved and that we have eternal salvation
we are like that criminal on the cross - we should die for our sins - but because we openly declare who He is and Believe in out hearts we are saved
