Armour of God Shield of Faith The armor of God is an amazing metaphor for action we need to take in our spiritual lives. Paul sets the scene for us: We are fighting a war, and the stakes are higher than they have ever been in human history. Our enemy? Not flesh and blood, no human foe—we fight against a much more fearsome opponent whose forces are described in Ephesians 6:12. Our adversary, Satan the devil, and his host of demons have a single, driving purpose: Obliterate the children of God. Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Faith involves a huge element of trust. We must examine the evidence and see that God has proved Himself to be unchanging and consistent, and then we must firmly believe that He will fulfill His promises to us. While a physical shield protects us physically, faith can protect our spiritual lives even in the middle of physical trials. Next: Sword of the Spirit
