The Greek word, “shield” is from the root word meaning “door or gate.” This kind of shield was a large shield, usually oval in shape and covered the majority of the soldier’s body. And just like the Roman soldiers had this shield for protection, you and I have a shield also and that shield is our faith. Our faith is the doorway between getting burned by Satan’s attacks and being protected from Satan’s attacks.
