Fruits and Shields
Two of the most well-known illustrations came from the Apostle Paul. In his letter to the Galatians, he talks about the Fruits of the Spirit. In the next book, Ephesians, he talks about the Armor of God. Galatians. It begins with “G”, so think “Grapes.” Ephesians has an “S” in the middle of it. Picture the Shield that must guard our midsection.
This quiz focuses on those two passages.
Results
You got ’em all. You know the difference between Grapes and Helmets! But are there still arrows that could pierce your armor? Give the quiz another try.
Not quite- you missed at least one question. Polish your armor; try the quiz a few more times…
#1. Which book tells us to put on the Armor of God?
Ephesians

Ephesians 6:10-18…
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.
14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.

19 The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
