The Helmet Of Hope
We as believers will never fall into a pit of hopelessness or depression. As quoted in the scriptures.
Colossians 1:27
For God wanted them to know that the riches and glory of Christ are for you Gentiles, too. And this is the secret: Christ lives in you. This gives you assurance of sharing his glory.
We all have the hope of glory that is Christ and he is residing in us. This is a powerful revelation to understand that we have this hope of Glory and Christ is in us, that is sufficient to fill us with hope.
There are many ways we can attain hope. One of the prime sources of hope is the Word of God. The word of God strengthens us in times of troubles.
Another source of hope is the strong faith that Jesus Christ was resurrected from death; that power is enough to lead us in hope.
We all are moving in a ship of faith, this ship has an anchor which is the hope that will help us stand firm amidst the storms we face. Our God will hold us .
1 Thessalonians 5:8
But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.
We are the children of light and the one we follow is the world's light, that is Christ. Since we are children of day we should always be self controlled putting on the breastplate of faith and wear the helmet of salvation. Helmets are usually worn to protect our head from head injury. Similarly, the Helmet of Hope of salvation will protect us from any fall of hope and depression.
Ephesians 6:17
Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God
Always remind yourself that you are saved or have received salvation or that you will reach the point of full salvation soon.
Our spirit and soul will eventually attain this salvation and then our body.
When we wear the helmet which is the hope of salvation we will stand strong in between all financial problems, job crisis or any life problems.
Just keep reminding yourself that you are a saved individual.
Suppose you do not reach a particular milestone in your life as you may have anticipated, do not despair, always believe all that is of this world is temporary. The hope of salvation should make you be hopeful of what is in store for you.
The victories and failures in the world can be fought with the helmet of hope of salvation.
Luke 10:19
I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.
Here Jesus is sending his disciples to spread the Gospel and use his name to heal, drive out demons. Always have that hope in between all your success and failures. God has kept this hope that is the helmet of hope of salvation. Remind yourself that we will once leave this world.
John 14:1-4
Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God and believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me so that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going
You may fail in an exam, or marriage or any life challenges but this is just a particular failure that never implies that your life is a failure. Our helmet of salvation should help us pull through them all. Never be excited over worldly achievements because above all victories and failures we should have that hope of glory inside .
Luke 1:37
For nothing will be impossible with God.
Matthew 17:20
He said to them, 'Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this …
