‘Helmet of Salvation’ Printable (Ephesians 6:17a)

The ‘Helmet of Salvation’ printable is a great aid to help you communicate and discuss with your children the importance of the armor of God.

‘The Helmet of Salvation’ Printable: Explained

The Roman helmet was important to the full set of armor as it would protect the soldier’s head from enemy attacks. It was incredibly important for the soldier to wear his helmet. The helmet protected his brain – his mind! Some suggest that there were special helmets for parades for those soldiers that had a special position in the Roman army.

For the Christian, our salvation renews and protects our mind. We need God to protect our mind as this is just where the Enemy likes to attack.

As you discuss, remind the children that Jesus transforms our mind and helps us to think the right kind of thoughts.

1. Do you have a favourite hat/helmet?
