NEIL ANDERSON'S DAILY IN CHRIST
from Freedom in Christ Ministries
September 15
THE HELMET OF SALVATION
And take the helmet of salvation (Ephesians 6:17).
The next necessary piece of spiritual armor is the helmet of
salvation. Should your shield of faith be a little leaky and your
daily victory elusive, be confident that the helmet of salvation
guarantees your eternal victory. In the metaphor of armor, the
helmet also secures coverage for the most critical part of your
anatomy: your mind, where spiritual battles are either won or
lost. As you struggle with the world, the flesh, and the devil on
a daily basis, stand firm knowing that your salvation does not
come and go with your success or failure in spiritual battle;
your salvation is your eternal possession. You are a child of
God, and nothing can separate you from the love of Christ (Romans
8:35).
People experiencing spiritual conflict tend to question their
salvation or doubt their identity in Christ. Satan may disrupt
your daily victory, but he can do nothing to disrupt your
position in Christ. However, if he can get you to believe that
you are not in Christ, you will live as though you are not, even
though you are secure in Him.
The Christian warrior wears the helmet of salvation in the sense
that he is the receiver and possessor of deliverance, clothed and
armed in the victory of his Head, Jesus Christ. Satan is the
ruler of this world, and the whole world is in his power (John
12:31; 1 John 5:19). Therefore we are still in his territory as
long as we are present in our physical bodies. But since we are
joined to the Lord Jesus Christ, the devil has no legitimate
claim on us, for Christ has "delivered us from the domain of
darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son"
(Colossians 1:13). The helmet of our position in Christ assures
us of ultimate victory over Satan.
I love You, Father, and thank You that I am united with Christ
and spiritually alive in Him.
