For by Grace are ye saved through Faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the Gift of GOD: not of works, lest any man should boast.
Ephesians 2:8‭-‬9 KJV

We have the Shield of Faith and so we can believe that we are saved. 
Our Salvation was paid with a heavy price and we should acknowledge that all this comes from GOD. 
It is a Gift that we should guard close and never boast of it as our own doing. 
A Gift that we should work out, guard and keep, through GOD, with everything we have, just as in the same way you will never want to take off your helmet in War.

Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your Salvation with fear and trembling, for it is GOD who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill HIS Good Purpose.
Philippians 2:12‭-‬13 NIV

So why put on a helmet over our Spiritual Man's head? 
Death could happen to us if our head is not guarded and is hit in war. 
A helmet protects us from any injury to the head. 
Salvation comes with a protection from death. Salvation comes with JESUS.
Noting that we speak not of the Physical Death, but of the Spiritual Death.
That it's possible to be Spiritually dead even when we are Physically alive. 
Also acknowledging that whatever gets into our mind will be processed and will impact how we live. 
But if our minds are guarded by the Salvation of CHRIST, whatever we take in, guarded by the statutes of CHRIST, is beneficial to us. 

For this is how GOD loved the World: HE gave HIS One and Only SON, so that everyone who believes in HIM will not perish but have Eternal Life.
John 3:16 NLT

So don't put down your Salvation Helmet at any one point, even when it looks “safe.” For the enemy is always ready to aim at you and destroy you. 

Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.
1 Peter 5:8 NLT

The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. MY Purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.
John 10:10 NLT

Remember that GOD won't work it out in you by force.
GOD never interferes with your will. So you have to deliberately and intentionally allow HIM to work it out in you.
Give in to the conviction of The HOLY SPIRIT to welcome JESUS in your heart. Do not harden your heart when HE speaks to it.
Today is your day of Salvation. 

If you openly declare that JESUS is LORD and believe in your heart that GOD raised HIM from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with GOD, and it is by openly declaring your Faith that you are saved.
Romans 10:9‭-‬10 NLT
