• "shield of faith" This means that confidence in God Himself which the soul is entitled and encouraged to cherish: I say, in Himself, because, though inseparable from the godly and righteous state the previous portions of the panoply intimate, it is a confidence springing only from what God is known to be in His own nature and character.

God had an object in it all.” (“The Whole Armor of God: Part 2”)
