Life With Jesus - Armor of GodSample

After Jesus returned to be with His Father in heaven, the message of the gospel was spread throughout the world by His disciples and by new believers that began to follow Jesus. Paul started off hating Jesus’ followers, but he radically found salvation in Jesus and became one of the most famous Jesus followers of them all. Paul became a missionary who traveled great distances to share the gospel. Paul helped to plant churches in towns and countries all over the place. One of these places was called Ephesus.

Paul wrote letters to the church in Ephesus to encourage them, and to teach the new believers all about Jesus, how He saved them from sin. Paul wanted the people of the Ephesian church to know that their salvation through Jesus is what would keep them on track.

Paul finishes his letter to the Ephesians, telling them about the armor of God. The helmet of salvation is the last piece of armor that Paul talks about. He’s saying let God’s saving power be like a helmet.

This letter written by Paul is just as important to you and me today! The understanding that we are saved through Jesus gives us the right perspective to be able to protect our hearts and minds from the lies of the enemy. Put on your helmet of salvation and remember what Jesus has done for you.

It is through Jesus we can stand firm on God’s Word. God gives us armor so we can stand strong in our life with Jesus.
