We know Christ protects us through the promises in Scripture that affirm His role as our shield against all enemies.
The assurance of Christ's protection is founded in the commitments expressed in various biblical texts. In Psalms, for instance, it is stated that 'the Lord is round about his people from henceforth even forever' (Psalm 125:2), indicating ongoing divine protection. Furthermore, Romans 8:31 asserts that if God is for us, who can be against us? This theme runs through the narrative of the Scriptures, where Christ is depicted not only as the sacrifice who takes on sin and wrath but also as the active protector of His followers. His role as our shield encompasses protection from spiritual enemies as well as encouragement during personal trials and tribulations.
