Satan's Role in Our Trials
Satan's Role in Our Trials
John MacArthur: This is John MacArthur, welcoming you to Portraits of Grace. During the past twenty-five years, there has been a tremendous upsurge in interest, both secular and religious, in demons, the occult, Satan worship, and evil supernatural influences. It has even led to a special emphasis on spiritual warfare, but that emphasis is not biblical, and it leads to an unbalanced perspective on the role Satan has in our trials.
So how do you fight Satan? Well, the Apostle Peter tells us to resist him, which simply means you stand up against him with your spiritual feet solidly planted on the objective truth of the Bible. The devil is a liar and a deceiver, and the best way to confront and deflect his onslaughts is with the infallible, revealed truth of Scripture. That's the sword of the Spirit. So follow the Apostle Paul's admonition for standing against Satan by taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ, and you'll be a portrait of grace.
