SERMON INFO
I. The Illustration of the Shield. I have always thought of the shield as a very small shield, but that is not the case. It is interesting that the word Paul uses here, translated “shield,” is related to the word “door.” The shield that Paul had in mind here is not the small, round one the size of a garbage can lid, but the oblong, door-like shield, measuring 4' x 2 ', curved to the shape of the body and carried by the Greek and Roman soldiers.

II. The Distinction or Importance of the Shield.

A. “Above ALL” has been translated “In all circumstances”. A soldier may have all the armor, but the armor that protects the soldier's armor is the shield. It is important “above all” and it is to be used “in all circumstances”. A soldier will not last long without his shield. The fiery darts will destroy him very quickly.

B. Our trust in God is able to quench “ALL the fiery arrows of the devil”. In the days of Paul one of the main weapons of war was the flaming arrow. This arrow had a heavy iron tip which was dipped into pitch and set on fire. Even the speed of the arrow in the air wouldn't extinguish the flame – it was a deadly flaming missile.

III. The Composition of the Shield. It is the shield of FAITH. Faith is like a shield because it must be strong. You cannot last long in battle with a cardboard shield. It must be made of something that cannot be penetrated. Our hope is built on nothing less than Jesus blood and righteousness!

IV. The Protection of the Shield. Faith is like a shield because it receives the blows meant for the person. It quenches all the fiery darts of the wicked one.

V. The Cooperation of the Shield.
