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

Answered in 1 source

Faith is the shield that quenches the fiery darts of the wicked, protecting us from doubts and fears.

In Ephesians 6:16, Paul refers to faith as the shield, which signifies that it is through faith that we can ward off attacks and doubts thrown by the enemy. The fiery darts represent temptations and accusations that aim to undermine our assurance of salvation. By walking in faith, focusing on the promises of God and the work of Christ, believers find refuge and strength to combat these challenges, demonstrating that a deep trust in God provides a vital defense in spiritual warfare.
