How does God defend His people according to the sermon?

The defense of God's people rests in His sovereign power and protection. Psalm 119:118 asserts that God has trodden down all those who err from His statutes, establishing that He actively combats the forces of evil on their behalf. Furthermore, the sermon illustrates that while God protects believers like a shield, He also provides spiritual armor as mentioned in Ephesians 6, allowing believers to withstand attacks from the spiritual realm. This assurance brings comfort that those who trust in God will be defended against all adversities. Ultimately, this protection reflects God’s commitment to keep His people safe from deception and wickedness.
