The devil’s arrows are dipped in the tar of deceit and lit by the flame of wickedness. Lies, deception, half-truths, doubts: These are what the flaming darts are made of. The shield of faith is the believer’s only hope when it comes to defending against these attacks. The promises of God, assurance of salvation, eternal blessings in the Gospel of Christ: These are what the shield of faith are made of. The believer’s hope is that, in all circumstances, the shield of faith will hold up against the schemes of the devil. Therefore, it is our duty to make faithful use of it.
