1 Peter 5:8 warns us that we have an enemy. He is described as “our adversary, the devil” who according to John 10:10 comes to “steal, kill and destroy.” Sun Tsu, one of the greatest military strategists of all time wrote these words in his book The Art of War:
“When we know ourselves and know our enemy, we need not fear a hundred battles.”
Let’s identify what our enemy can and can’t do.
While the devil possesses significant influence, he is not all-powerful, all-knowing or everywhere present. He can cause temporary hardship, but he cannot achieve victory over believers [Matthew 16:18]. Believers are given spiritual armor [Ephesians 6:10-18].
Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, whose spirit lives in us, proved over and over that He is greater than the god of this world [1 John 4:4]. The god of this world is no match for Jesus Christ [John 12:31], therefore he is no match for us who are in Christ.
