Thirsting Souls Bible Teaching

(Eph 6:16) “Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.”  Why does it say, “above all”? Answer: faith is trusting the Lord. It “acts” based upon the belief that God says what He means, can do, and will do whatever He has said. Faith is not only belief, but it is acting upon that belief. One who says they believe but do not act do not truly possess faith – trust in God. To not trust in God is to call Him a liar, and therefore cannot please Him (Heb. 13).  So, above all, take the shield of faith.
