Introduction

In Chapter 3 of Life Foundations, “The Battle: The World, The Flesh and the Devil,” we discover the reality of the spiritual dimension and the fierce spiritual battle taking place there. We’ll learn how you as a believer should battle against Satan, the world, and the flesh, using spiritual tools and armor.

Satan and his forces are subtle, powerful, and clever. He deceived Eve, attempted to snare Christ, and is after each of us today.

We’ll also see that we have an ally in God, and He has not left us defenseless. Although Satan is more powerful than any human being, he is a defeated foe because of what Christ did on the cross. We will fight daily battles, but the final victory is assured. Christ arms us with the Word, prayer, and the Holy Spirit.
