‏ 1 Thessalonians 5:8

v. 8: Paul tells the Thessalonians to put on spiritual armor: 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 (1 Thessalonians 5:8 ^a). Faith helps us trust God and stay alert. Love for God and for others keeps us strong. Hope in salvation protects our minds from being distracted or discouraged by the world. These three—faith, love, and hope—are the Christian’s protection.
