Ephesians 6: 16 ” In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.”

The shield of the Roman soldier was long and rectangular in shape…and almost as tall as he was.  Its protection was superb, and when groups of soldiers closed ranks, fit the shields together, and advanced as one, the line was impenetrable.  They would also hold the shields overhead, forming a circle of protection from arrows flying down from enemy walls above.  Our saving faith…that firm and confident belief in Jesus and His Gospel covers us with complete protection from the devil.  And when the Body of Believers band together  with our shields of faith…we are unstoppable…we are victorious.
