“Your Enemy the Devil”

1 Peter 5:8–9  (ID: 1507)

Peter warned his Christians of the reality of their enemy, the devil—but he also made them aware of how they were to respond to this threat. Alistair Begg emphasizes Peter’s warning, prompting us to actively resist the ways of the Evil One. By being self-controlled and alert, we will understand the reality of spiritual warfare and be able to resist Satan’s schemes.
