The Whole Armor of God - Part 5 The Helmet of Salvation

Ephesians 6:17 NLT
Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
We all know that a helmet is a protective head covering.
As a protective head covering, the helmet protects the continents of the head, chiefly the brain; our minds.

We are instructed to love the Lord with all of our soul, mind, heart and strength.
Mark 12:30 NLT
And you must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.'*

But how do we love the Lord with our mind?
We renew our mind with the word of God.
Romans 12:2 NKJV
And do ot be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

We submit our thoughts to God:
Psalms 26:2 NKJV
Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; Try my mind and my heart.
 
We commit our works to God:
Proverbs 16: NKJV
Commit your works to the LORD, And your thoughts will be established.
 
Take up the Helmet of Salvation! Love the Lord with your mind.
