Armor of God pt 4
Shield of Faith.
"A shield is a type of personal armor, meant to intercept attacks, either by stopping projectiles such as arrows or redirecting a hit from a sword, mace, battle axe or similar weapon to the side of the shield-bearer." (Wikipedia)
How will you stop the onslaught against you without protection?
"The Roman shield, or scutum, was a central part of the soldier’s defense. The scutum was rectangular in shape and rounded on the ends. It was typically made from two sheets of wood that were glued together, then covered with canvas and leather. The canvas and leather could be doused with water to protect against flaming arrows...weighed about 22 pounds and was roughly 37 to 42 inches high and 27 to 33 inches across. " (Lifehopeandtruth)
What is faith?
"The substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." (Hebrews 11:1)
A greater gift... (1 Cor. 13:13)
THE precursor to victory ( 1 John 5:4)
"16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one." (Ephesians 6:16)
