The helmet of salvation upon His head
Tak, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the Lord saw it, and it displeased Him that there was no judgment. And He saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore His arm brought salvation unto Him; and His righteousness, it sustained Him. For He put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon His head; and He put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloke (Izajasz 59:15-17)
Jezus Chrystus, the Son of God and the living Word, came to the earth to save (upadły) man from the power of the devil and sin and death and restore the peace between God and man (Przeczytaj także: ‘Jaki pokój Jezus przyniósł na ziemię?‘ I ‘Pokój, Jezus przywrócony między upadłego człowieka a Boga.„).

The new creation takes de helmet of salvation
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. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, Who died for us, To, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him(1 Tesaloniczan 5:8-10)
But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; That being justified by His grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life (Tytus 3:4-7)
Salvation comes from God and no one else. No one can be saved through his own works. Therefore salvation is a gift from God, which only can be received by faith (Oh. Jan 3:16-17, Rzymianie 5:9, Efezjan 2:8-10).
Through faith in Jesus Christ and regeneration in Him, you receive the salvation of the Lord and be saved. Poprzez regenerację, Stajesz się nowym stworzeniem; a son of God and receive eternal life.
Chociaż żyjesz na świecie, due to regeneration in Christ, you no longer belong to the world but the Kingdom of God, where Jesus Christ is King and Jesus Christ reigns (Oh. Izajasz 9:6, Daniela 7:27, Jan 12:13-15, Jan 18:36-37, Dzieje 2:30, Efezjan 1:20-22, Kolosan 1:13-14, 1 Tymotka 1:17, 1 Tymotka 6:15, Juda 1:25, Objawienie 17:14, Objawienie 19:16).
By the grace of God, you are saved by the blood of Jesus Christ and through the death of the flesh and the resurrection of the spirit from the dead.
Now that you are saved, you shall live from your salvation in Christ and your position in Him and walk after the Word and the Spirit, Who represent the will of God, so that you shall keep your salvation during your life on earth (Przeczytaj także: „Once saved, always saved?„).
Przez chrzest Duchem Świętym, you received the Holy Spirit. Duch Święty mieszka w Tobie, whereby the will of God (Jego prawo) jest wypisane na twoim sercu.
Jednakże, your unrenewed mind is still carnal. Therefore your mind is a hindrance and may stop you from yielding to the words and the will of God and obeying the Word and the Holy Spirit.
Therefore it’s necessary to odnowić swój umysł ze Słowem Bożym, so that your mind shall no longer think like the world and relies on the flesh and the wisdom and knowledge of the world (nauka), but that your mind shall think like the Word; Jesus Christ and relies on the Spirit and the wisdom and knowledge of God, so that you have the mind of Christ and think, mówić, act and walk as Jesus thought, spoke, acted and walked on earth.
The mind determines the course in life
He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city (Przysłowia 16:32)
The mind determines the course of life of man. Because every thought, every word, and every action derives from the mind. Dlatego, it’s necessary to renew your mind with the truth of God, so that through the renewing of your mind with the Word and by yielding to God and His Word, everything in your life comes under the power of God and you shall think His myśli, speak His words and His truth, and walk in the truth.
If you renew your mind with the Word of God you shall no longer be ignorant and have a lack of knowledge, but you shall possess the wisdom and knowledge of God and you shall know His will.
Przez Słowo, you shall find out the truth and destroy the lies and the strongholds of the devil and the kingdom of darkness in your mind. You shall know, Kim jesteś in Christ and what authority and inheritance you have received in Him. From this truth, you shall walk by faith and obedience to God and live as the new creation (Przeczytaj także: ‘Warownie w umysłach ludzi„).
The devil’s attack on your mind
The devil will do everything he can to take your salvation and make you apostate from God and His Word. Since the devil knows the power of the mind, the devil shall shoot his arrows at you and do everything he can to find a way into your head and enter your mind and take possession of your mind.
He shall use your senses, uczucia, emocje, myśli, and the words of people, to sow doubt and fear in your mind, so that you will doubt the words of God and God’s existence and you shall doubt your salvation and your sonship of God.
The devil shall keep you away from the Bible in order to keep you ignorant and he shall master your time, through distractions, obchodzi, and the things of everyday life. He shall feed your mind through his means of entertainment (Przeczytaj także: „Pozwól mi cię zabawić„).
The devil shall do everything in his power, to take possession of your mind, so that you shall believe his lies and shall live according to his lies.
He shall try everything to take the helmet of salvation from you, so that your mind doesn’t belong to Christ anymore, but to him.
Diabeł wie, when he possesses your mind, he possesses your life. Since everything derives from the mind of people. The head determines the functioning of the body.
Dlatego, you should always stay awake and be watchful and be careful about what you allow into your mind and what you listen to and watch.
You decide what things you spend your time on and what things you feed your mind. You decide to whom your mind belongs and you will show what is important to you and where your heart is, by the things you do.
Seek the things, które są w górze, a nie na ziemi
Jeśli więc zmartwychwstaniecie z Chrystusem, szukajcie tego, co w górze, gdzie Chrystus siedzi po prawicy Boga. Skieruj swoje uczucia na rzeczy powyżej, nie na rzeczach ziemskich. Bo jesteście martwi, a wasze życie jest ukryte z Chrystusem w Bogu (Kolosan 3:1-3)
Jako nowe stworzenie, who is set apart from the world and belongs to Christ, Powinieneś/Pani odłóż starego I Przyobleczcie się w nowego człowieka and you shall seek those things, które są powyżej, where Christ is seated at the right hand of the Father.
You shall feed and renew your mind with the Word of God, so that you shall get to know the truth and the will of God and be able to discern the lies from the truth.
You shall have the mind of Christ in which the will of God reigns.
Your mind shall belong to Jesus Christ and you shall submit to Jesus Christ; the Word and you shall live by faith after the Spirit after His will.
But if you refuse to put on the new man and keep feeding your mind with the words and the things of this world, your mind shall remain carnal and you shall think, speak and act like the world and you shall not yield to Jesus Christ; słowo.
Since a carnal mind is enmity against God, because a carnal mind shall not yield and obey the words and the will of God, but shall be prideful and shall exalt itself above God and His will (Jego prawo (Rzymianie 8:5-8)).
A carnal mind belongs to the world and the ruler of this world; the devil and shall submit to the will of the devil, which reigns in the flesh through sin and death. Z tego powodu, the person shall not live in the freedom of Christ and in the peace of God, but shall live in the bondage of the kingdom of darkness and the power of the devil.
Take the helmet of salvation and keep the helmet of salvation on
Błogosławiony niech będzie Bóg i Ojciec Pana naszego Jezusa Chrystusa, which according to His abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: Whom having not seen, ye love; in Whom, though now ye see Him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls (1 Piotr 1:3-9)
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek (Rzymianie 1:16)
Dlatego, take the helmet of salvation and keep the helmet of salvation on, by faith and by yielding to Jesus Christ; the Author of eternal salvation.
