BREASTPLATE – HELMET / 1 THESSALONIANS 5:8

(KJV) 1 Thessalonians 5:8

But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.

A breastplate was a large piece of armor that protected the chest of a soldier during battle. Having “faith and love as a breastplate” means that a loving and trusting relationship with Christ and a life that shows His love to others will protect one’s spiritual heart. Having the “hope of salvation as a helmet” (Ephesians 6:13) implies that a believer’s mind would be protected by the assurance of being spared from God’s wrath and spending eternity with Christ. This same confidence should allow us to stay focused on Chrit’s return, be self-controlled and be at peace while we wait for Him.
