3 The Physical Armor: The Shield
The fiery dart was one of the most dangerous weapons in ancient warfare The Roman shield was a full-body protection, measuring 4-ft H x 2.5-ft W, designed for ultimate defense It was made of two solid pieces of wood, glued together, then covered first with linen and then in a tough, heavy leather and bound with iron above and below A fiery dart would sink into the shield and the flame be extinguished/quenched The soldier held the shield with the left hand, having freedom to wield the sword with the right hand The edges of the shields were constructed so that an entire line of soldiers could interlock shields and march into the enemy like a solid wall

4 The Spiritual Armor: The Shield of Faith
Christians have an enemy that employs many devices, incl. fiery darts designed to destroy us Christians have a shield – faith! Faith is a solid, formidable, defensive weapon which protects us from Satan, quenching his fiery darts We are victorious through faith (1 Pet. 5:8-9; 1 John 5:4-5) Through faith, we are “ABLE to quench ALL the fiery darts” The Christian’s shield is large enough to provide full protection Christian soldiers have one hand on shield and one on sword The shield is designed to interlock with others, so that we are not in battle alone (Phil. 1:27) Shield could be objective faith = “the faith” (Acts 6:7; Gal. 1:23) “The faith” would be our shield against Satan (cf. Matt. 4:1-11)

5 Our Responsibility: Take the Shield of Faith
Place our faith firmly in God’s Word (Acts 27:25) Increase our faith (Rom. 10:17) Hold and keep our faith (1 Tim. 1:18-20; 2 Tim. 1:13) Take the shield of faith and quench the devil’s arrows of: Worry (Matt. 6:24-34) Fear (Matt. 8:26) Doubt (Matt. 14:31) Temptation (Psa. 119:11; 1 Cor. 10:13) Human reasoning (Matt. 16:8) Unbelief (Heb. 3:7-13) Distress and grief (1 Pet. 1:5-9) Materialism (Heb. 11:23-26) Ridicule (1 Pet. 4:1-4) Pressure to conform (Rom. 12:1-2)
