In the Bible, salvation is a broader term than what we usually use in the Christian church.
We’re looking at the armor of God, and we turn now to another piece: the helmet of salvation. A lot of churches use the word salvation in the past tense: “I’ve been saved,” or “When were you saved?” If you’re accustomed to this, you might get confused when you see that often in the Bible, the word salvation for Christians is used in the present or future tense.
Let’s look at: 1) the past tense of salvation, 3) the present tense of salvation, 3) the future tense of salvation, and 4) how to put it on.
