Ephesians 6:17 (NKJV) And take the helmet of salvation,
My favorite position in football is the linebacker. This is the guy who stands in the middle of the field and is tasked with knocking the daylights out of anything with a ball. Linebackers are probably the toughest guys on the field and they have the ability to put their head down and put their everything into the tackle. Why? Well I am glad you asked. You see, they wear a helmet, and this helmet helps them know that no matter how hard the hit, their head will stay safe. They have learned this over many years and many tackles. I am sure that the first hits were apprehensive, but the helmet saved their head enough where now they are virtually fearless. In the same way we are able to charge into spiritual battles with the knowledge that our salvation is secure. Today let us live as if the greatest spiritual battle has already been won, and now we can fight with abandon.
