We are on week 5 of the Armor of God Bible study, featuring video written and presented by Priscilla Shirer.
Paul describes the Armor of God in Ephesians 6:10-20. This week the emphasis is on verse 16: 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. This is the first and only verse in Paul's description that also specifies what the piece of equipment accomplishes.
Here is the description of this week's video session: Faith is one of the most overused and yet underutilized expressions in Christian circles. However, talking about faith is not the same as having it. Faith is an action. By definition, faith is not talking about or thinking about or even celebrating God's truth. It is the process of adapting your behavior, your decisions, and ultimately your whole lifestyle so it accords with what has asked you to do- without needing to see the evidence that it will all work out in the end.
Mull this over in preparation for Wednesday: Why do you think Paul went to greater lengths to accentuate the benefits of this piece of equipment? How would you describe the difference between belief and faith?
