Life is basically a struggle, never conforming to our rosy idealism, or to the romanticism of our songs. We see our struggle as a conflict against other men and women, and even against ourselves. But the Bible teaches that the battle is not against flesh and blood; it lies deeper than that. What we are experiencing is a battle between the kingdom of God and the kingdom of Satan, with man’s eternal destiny at stake.
Jesus warns that without him we are but helpless victims under the control of Satan, the strong man. But the good news is that through his cross and resurrection, Jesus has broken the power and bondage of Satan over human lives. Through Jesus our savior and Lord, we now live in freedom and liberty as children of God! Jesus the Overcomer
has won the battle — It is finished!
