1 John 5:18 "We know that those who are born of God do not sin, but the
one who was born of God protects them, and the evil one does
not touch them."
In the realm of the war over my spiritual life I am comforted that the evil one cannot touch me. Sure, the miscreant can insert poor thoughts into my head, try to lead me astray and other foul little tricks, but those don't work. I know, without a doubt, that the spiritual battle is real, continuous and furious.
It helps me to know how secure I am in my walk of faith. Nothing can withstand my will because it is reinforced by the overpowering, never ending, all encompassing love of Jesus that surrounds me.
Pick up a stick and hit the devil! As Christians we have the biggest stick available! What great news that we have the cross where Jesus suffered and died. It's not the power of the cross, it's the power and truth of the resurrection that gives all the love we need to win. We win an everlasting life in a place that the words of man or the greatest imagination could ever conjure.
This the truth and shall always be the truth...God's not dead!
