Take the helmet of salvation… (Ephesians 6:17)
A Helmet was more than a functional piece of armour. It was a symbol. When the officers of a conquering force rode into a captured city, they used to do so with large purple plumes on their helmets.
The plumes on the helmet were a sign of victory, and showed everyone that they were conquerors.
Do you see where I am going with this.
Through Christ (and his Salvation) we are more than conquerors. Satan is defeated, Sin is defeated, our sinful nature is defeated.
We just need to wear our Salvation proudly to let them all know.
