What does it mean to have the shield of faith?

Answered in 1 source

Having the shield of faith means relying on God's promises and protection to ward off spiritual attacks and doubts.

The shield of faith, mentioned in Ephesians 6, symbolizes the believer's trust in God and His promises. This shield provides protection against the 'fiery darts' of doubt, temptation, and deception that the enemy launches against believers. Faith acts as a defensive barrier, empowering Christians to stand firm in the truth of God's Word and His character. By trusting in Christ's finished work and the assurances found in Scripture, believers can extinguish the fiery attacks that seek to undermine their faith. Thus, the practice of faith is not passive but an active engagement with God’s promises, reinforcing the believer’s security in Christ.
