The Armor of God

DAY 6 OF 8

Hope for the future

And take the helmet of salvation” (Ephesians 6:17)

Satan often attacks believers’ thoughts about their future with God. He wants them to doubt God’s promises, to doubt whether they will really go to heaven after their death. These thoughts can be extremely discouraging, and can take away our joy and assurance of faith.

The helmet of the hope of salvation can protect our thoughts, and thus our hope for the future. The joyful expectation of eternal life in the Lord’s presence and the assurance of God’s promises about new heavens and a new earth, give hope and the power to endure. Christians are like the Israelites during their desert journey: the circumstances are sometimes hard, it is not always easy to keep going, but they continue because they know their final destination is worth it and God sustains them on their journey.

The helmet of salvation can give you the right perspective on life. If you feel discouraged or confused about the difficulties you face, read for example Revelation 21 and 22. Allow this vision of God’s future salvation to fill you with hope and endurance again.
