Why is faith called the shield in the armor of God?

Answered in 2 sources

Faith is considered the shield in the armor of God because it protects believers by relying on Christ's righteousness and work.

In Ephesians 6:16, faith serves as a protective shield for Christians in spiritual warfare. This faith is not mere belief but specifically a trust in the person and work of Jesus Christ. It allows believers to withstand Satan's attacks, enabling them to rest in the assurance of salvation that comes through Christ alone. This shield quells doubts and fears that can undermine one's standing in grace and provides confidence against the accusations of the enemy. As believers wield this shield, they embrace the truth of the gospel, affirming that their salvation is based solely on Christ's achievements and not their own.
