The Helmet of Salvation

After the Shield of Faith, Paul goes on to tell us in Ephesians 6:17, to take the Helmet of Salvation.

Before Paul wrote about the armor, Isaiah tells us this in  Isaiah 59:15-17 which speaks about our Messiah, dressed for the battle.

 “Truth is lacking, and one who turns aside from evil makes himself a prey.

Now the Lord saw, and it was displeasing in His sight that there was no justice.

 And He saw that there was no one, and was amazed that there was not one to intercede; then His own arm brought salvation to Him, and His righteousness upheld Him.He put on righteousness like a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation on His head; and He put on garments of vengeance for clothing and wrapped Himself with zeal as a cloak.”

We see here that truth was lacking and this caused the Lord to fight the battle.  Maybe this is why Paul started with the Belt of Truth. 

1 Thessalonians 5:8 tells us, “But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet.”
