Salvation is the helmet we wear into daily battle against the evil powers! God gives us his complete and tested salvation, just as he wore himself into battle for his people in Isaiah 59. His salvation is all that he has done for you and I to rescue, redeem, renew, revive and restore us from sin, death, and those evil powers. Paul charges us to take, or grab the salvation that God provides for us so we can protect us from the damaging and discouraging thoughts that Satan loves to inject into our minds. 

 

God`s salvation not only deals with our past. God is still saving us in the present, and promises that we will obtain salvation even in the future (1 Thess. 5:9). What is our battle plan against Satan`s attacks? First, we take every thought captive and tear down any strongholds or fortresses that have been established in us (1 Cor. 10:4~5). Second, we think on all the good things that God has done and is doing in and around us (Phil. 4:8).
