What does it mean that Jesus is our banner in spiritual warfare?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus being our banner signifies that He is our source of victory and strength in the spiritual battles we face as believers.

In Exodus 17:15, Moses built an altar and named it 'Jehovah Nissi,' which means 'The Lord is my Banner.' This imagery conveys that Jesus is our guiding force and source of strength in our spiritual warfare. Just as Israel looked to the banner for direction and courage in battle, we look to Christ for our victories over sin and temptation. Understanding Jesus as our banner reminds us that the battle is ultimately His, and He fights on our behalf. In our struggles, we are called to lift our eyes to Him, knowing that our strength comes from resting in His finished work and intercession.
