Today we talk about the shield of faith. Faith, like the other words we have looked at in the armor of God, has been shrunken down to mean less than it does when it appears in Scripture. For the authors of scripture, faith is an action word. It is not just a belief that sits in the head, as if Scripture is merely asking you to believe that God, Jesus, and the stories of Scripture are real. Faith is trust and allegiance that leads you to live your life according to the fact that God, Jesus, and the stories of Scripture are real.
