Life With Jesus - Armor of God預覽

Have you ever played a game of laser tag or dodge ball? The aim of the game is to not get hit. You can hide behind obstacles or dodge incoming balls, but the most effective way of competing is to have a shield.

A shield works by deflecting things that come against the warrior. We’ve been given the armor of God, including a shield that we can use to deflect attack from the enemy.

Players in a game of dodgeball can use another ball as a shield to deflect incoming balls flying toward them. We can use our shield of faith to not just deflect, but to extinguish arrows from the enemy! Arrows of fear that want to wound us and take us out of the fight. Arrows of worry that would cripple and hold us back. What is the opposite of fear and worry? Faith! We’ve got the shield of faith that can extinguish fear and worry!

But what do we need to do with the shield? Take it up! We can’t leave our shield of faith lying by the wayside; we need to take it up and hold it high, we need to put it into action. God gives us armor so we can stand strong in our life with Jesus. Put on God’s armor and stand up to anything.
