1 Thessalonians 5:8

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

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.

We are of the day, but it is a day of battle. Put on armor, therefore. Be as soldiers that are covered with a panoply. Especially take care of your heart - put on the breastplate. Faith and love are the sacred protection for this. Take care that ye have both. Take care of your head - that also is a vital part; put on the helmet. Hope will do that. A good hope in Christ Jesus will guard you from many violent attacks that will be made upon your judgment.
