Attitudes to Avoid Concerning Our Adversary
SEPTEMBER 3
"Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good." Romans 12:21
There are two mistakes people make about the devil. One, they get into demonology — always studying, wondering, and talking about demons. Their focus gets on Satan rather than on the Lord Jesus. The Bible says we're to resist the devil; it doesn't say we're to chase him.
On the other hand, there are those who are flippant about the devil. They have nicknames for him and think he's unrealistic. The truth is that we have a powerful adversary who is the devil. Peter compares him to a roaring lion! A mature Christian recognizes that he has an enemy. He respects the power of the enemy. Then he clings to the power of the Lord Jesus Christ to overcome this great adversary.
Is the lion prowling around your life? Take up the sword of the Spirit, the Word of God, and break free from his jaws of destruction.
