The whole armour of God part 3

Hi, welcome to my blog. Today is day 13/365 of blogging everyday for a year. I have started a biblical series about the whole armour of God a few days ago. And today is part 3. Please check out the previous blogs if you haven't yet done so, this is a continuation. Let's get into it...

5. Helmet of Salvation
Helmet— a form of protective gear worn to protect the head.
Salvation— the deliverance of the soul from sin and it's consequences.
When we put on our helmet of salvation, we put on Christ himself. Christ protects not just our heads but our beings from spiritual death.
Spiritual meaning of putting on a helmet is to avoid sinful thoughts and understand what is good and true.
#"The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear ? The Lord is the stronghold of my life, of who shall I be afraid?"~Psalms 27:1
Helmet of truth means : having a sober mind 
#"Therefore, preparing your thoughts for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at he revelation of Jesus Christ"~1Peter 1:13

Helmets were custom made per warrior, just like your salvation is unique to you. What God saved you from may not be what God saved someone else from.
Every warrior has their own helmet, custom made for them.
It covers our thoughts and even our eyes, allowing us to see life in the lens of salvation.
#"For this light temporary affliction is preparing us for and eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen, but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the thimgs that are not seen are eternal" ~2Corinthians 5;17-18
The ultimate goal of faith is salvation
#"obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your soul" ~1Peter 1:9

Behold, NOW is the favourable time, behold NOW is the day of salvation"~2Corinthians 6:2 
Anyone can receive salvation anytime.
Remember to engage, follow, share, and watch out for my next post...
I love you, and Jesus loves you more.

A moment of confusion: story of my life

 Today I would like to talk about something that I have been thinking a lot about lately. This involves someone of the opposite gender. Ever since I have given my life to Christ and actively sought Him, my perspective on romantic relationships has shifted drastically. Here is the story, grab a chair, it's quite long... Let me give the guy the name K. K and I have known each other for about 5 years now. We tried something back when I was in high school. It wasn't really a relationship, but at that time, it was the closest I had to a relationship. This was because was unavailable most of the time because of my strict parents and also because we lived far apart, and could only see each other whenever I got a chance to go to town, which was not very often. So most of our relationship was on the phone, basically, our relationship deepened on the phone.  Things were going smoothly until I lost my phone at school, we didn't communicate for about 3-4 months. I could only contact hi

Happy New Week

Hi, welcome to my blog. Today is day 10/365 of blogging everyday for a year. My life is so boring, I have no idea what I will be blogging about in the next 355 days, but please bear with me, because God is good.  Remember the things I said I am looking forward to in this new month ?, they're currently stagnant. But I have a small amount of hope that things wiI start moving. I haven't left the house since this month started. It's been quite a while since I stepped out of the house, the idea of it kinda scares me now.  I am dedicating more time to reading the Bible and spending time with God, and this 'boring' phase in my life is exactly what I need to focus on myself and my relationship with God. As I mentioned some time ago, I am taking a break from social media(Instagram, TikTok, Facebook), for some time. I have made an exception with YouTube, I will only allow myself 3 videos a week max. This break is going to help me reduce external voices and/or influence in my

Being a student/ learner

 What does it mean to be a student? Is it only going to school and sitting in class? Let me tell you what I think. Being a student is about being teachable and willing to learn new things or to learn old things differently. I believe an old dog can be taught new tricks, no one is ever too old to learn anything. At the end of the day, life is the greatest teacher. So as long as you're still alive, make every day an opportunity to learn something new. There was a point in my life where I felt like everything was going south, I kept asking myself "Why is this happening to me ?" and someone said to me "The question you should be asking is "What can I learn from this ?" That response forever altered my thought pattern and my overall perception of life. This helped me to get out of the victim mindset and actually learn from different situations. The same applies in school if you fail a grade, you will find yourself repeating another year in the same class, with d
