"Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God." – Ephesians 6:17
A warrior would never go into battle without a helmet to protect his head from blows from the sword or ax. And likewise, a Christian would never allow himself to enter a spiritual battle unprotected, leaving his mind exposed.
In the letter to the Ephesians, Paul is not just writing about salvation, but everything that is based in salvation; which includes all the promises of salvation and the ultimate promise, which is our hope. The hope is that faith founded in salvation, will save us from daily conflict and sustain us through the spiritual battles. And it is the same salvation that delivers us from the penalty of sin, and into God's Kingdom for eternity.

You go nowhere by accident. Wherever you go, God is sending you, wherever you are, God has put you there; He has a purpose in your being there. Christ who dwells within you has something He wants to do through you wherever you are. Believe this and go in His grace and love and power.
