What does it mean that the Lord is our banner?

Answered in 1 source

It means Christ represents our victory in spiritual warfare and leads us in battle against sin.

In Exodus 17:15, the Lord is referred to as 'Jehovah Nissi,' translating to 'the Lord my banner.' This signifies that Christ is our source of strength and victory in the spiritual battle against sin and death. Just as a banner in battle signifies where soldiers should rally, Christ is our guiding light and defender in our fight against internal and external struggles. This understanding compels Christians to worship and submit to Him as the one who leads us to triumph over sin, as epitomized in Romans 8:37, where we are described as 'more than conquerors through Him who loved us.'
