头盔是保护头部的重要军装,头部代表人的思想与意识。以“救恩”为头盔,就是让神的拯救、耶稣基督十字架上成就的恩典,成为我们思想的根基与信心的磐石。The helmet is a vital piece of armour that protects the head, representing our thoughts and awareness. Wearing salvation as our helmet means letting God’s rescue — the grace Jesus Christ achieved on the cross — become the foundation of our thinking and the solid rock of our faith.
救恩包含两个层面:得救与得胜。得救是恩典,是神白白赐下的礼物,不凭行为而得。信徒因信称义,得救的恩典永不撤回。Salvation has two sides: being saved and being victorious. Being saved is all grace — a free gift from God, not something we earn. Believers are made right with God through faith, and this saving grace is never withdrawn. 耶稣的宝血永不失效,圣灵也永不离开属祂的人。得胜则需要信心与顺服的配合。我们要天天背起十字架,治死旧人,跟世界和黑暗权势争战,从属灵婴孩成长为成熟的神儿子,这是一个持续的成圣过程。Jesus’ blood never loses its power, and the Holy Spirit never leaves those who belong to Him. Victory, though, calls for faith joined with obedience. We must take up our cross each day, put to death the old self, and fight against the world and the powers of darkness, growing from spiritual infants into mature sons and daughters of God. It’s a continual journey of being made holy.
仇敌无法拦阻我们得救,但牠会竭力拦阻我们得胜——偷走喜乐、动摇信心、搅扰思想,使人陷入恐惧、控告、怀疑与无力感。The enemy can’t stop us being saved, but he does everything he can to block our victory — robbing our joy, shaking our faith, stirring our thoughts, and trapping us in fear, accusation, doubt, and weariness. 所以我们必须戴上救恩的头盔,让思想处于神救恩真理的保护之下,不接受任何来自撒但的怀疑与谎言。无论环境多艰难,都要带上救恩的头盔,头脑里牢记:神仍在施行拯救。work, refusing every lie and doubt the devil throws at us. No matter how tough things get, we hold fast to this truth: God is still saving. “凡靠着祂进到神面前的人,祂都能拯救到底,因为祂是长远活着,为他们祈求。”(来 7:25)So we must put on the helmet of salvation, keeping our minds under the truth of God’s saving “He is able to save completely those who come to God through Him, because He always lives to intercede for them.” (Hebrews 7:25)牢记:神救我们乃是预定我们得荣耀的(林前 2:7);我们得救,是为得胜;而得胜,是为荣耀神。Remember: God has destined our salvation for glory (1 Corinthians 2:7); we’re saved to overcome, and we overcome to bring glory to God.
“神的道”原文是“神的话”(Rhema),是神活的、带能力的言语。宝剑是军装中唯一既可防守又可攻击的武器,但只有在圣灵里运用神的话,才有智慧与权能。“The word of God” here is Rhema — God’s living, powerful word. The sword is the only part of the armour that both defends and attacks, yet only when we use God’s word in the Spirit does it carry real wisdom and power. “字句是叫人死,精义(圣灵)是叫人活。”(林后 3:6)神的话必须在圣灵的手中,才能成为有效的宝剑。主耶稣被圣灵充满、被圣灵引导,在旷野三次用“经上记着说”击退撒但的试探,显出神话语的大能。“The letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.” (2 Corinthians 3:6) God’s word becomes a true weapon only in the Holy Spirit’s hands. Jesus, filled with and led by the Spirit, faced Satan’s temptations in the wilderness and answered each one with “It is written,” showing the power of God’s word. 启示录 19:13、15 描述祂“穿着溅了血的衣服,祂的名称为神之道,有利剑从祂口中出来,可以击杀列国。” “神的道是活泼的,是有功效的,比一切两刃的剑更快。”(来 4:12)Revelation 19:13, 15 pictures Him “wearing a robe dipped in blood, and His name is the Word of God. Out of His mouth comes a sharp sword to strike down the nations.” “The word of God is alive and active, sharper than any double-edged sword.” (Hebrews 4:12) 当我们在圣灵引导下宣告神的话,就能刺破谎言、揭露诡计、击退仇敌(参太 4:4,7,10)。When we speak God’s word under the Spirit’s guidance, it cuts through lies, exposes deception, and drives the enemy back (Matthew 4:4, 7, 10).
主啊,感谢祢赐我救恩的头盔,使我常记得:我的身份在基督里已经得救、被赦免、被接纳、被爱。救恩不仅是过去的经历,更是我每天活出的确据。Lord, thank You for giving me the helmet of salvation, keeping me mindful that in Christ I am saved, forgiven, accepted, and loved.感谢祢让我明白,仇敌无法拦阻我得救,却常试图拦阻我得胜。求祢天天提醒我:我的生命已立在救恩的磐石上,我的身份是属耶稣的,活着就是为让祢得荣耀。Salvation isn’t just a moment in the past but a daily reality I live from. Thank You for showing me that the enemy can’t steal my salvation, though he often tries to hinder my victory. Please remind me each day that my life stands on the rock of salvation, my identity belongs to Jesus, and my purpose is to bring You glory.
主啊,赦免我常轻忽祢的话语。求祢开我的心眼,使我真知道祢的话比金子可羡慕,且比极多的精金可羡慕(诗 19:10)。吸引我每日在祢的话语上下功夫,让祢的话丰丰富富地存在我心里,成为我属灵的兵器库。Lord, forgive me for taking Your word lightly. Open my eyes to see that Your word is more precious than gold, even the purest gold (Psalm 19:10). Draw me to treasure and dwell in it daily so that it fills my heart and becomes my storehouse of spiritual weapons. 圣灵啊,当争战来临时,提醒我拿起神的话,用祢的道击退仇敌的攻击。赦免我倚靠自己的聪明,却忘了戴上救恩的头盔。基督是我们的智慧、公义、圣洁与救赎(林前 1:30)。Holy Spirit, when the battle comes, remind me to take up God’s word and fight back with Your sword. Forgive me for relying on my own understanding and forgetting to wear the helmet of salvation. Christ is our wisdom, righteousness, holiness, and redemption (1 Corinthians 1:30). 主啊,愿我以穿戴祢全副军装,以争战为喜乐,成为耶稣基督的精兵,在祢的救恩磐石上胜了又胜,荣耀神。Lord, help me to put on Your full armour, to take joy in the fight, and to be a faithful soldier of Jesus Christ — standing firm on the rock of salvation, winning again and again, to the glory of God.
