Core Truth: According to Scripture every true believer is engaged on three fields of battle - the world, the flesh, and the devil. And whereas we once had no power of our own for such warfare, we are now made free in Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit to win on every one of these battlefields, choosing good over evil, God over Satan, and righteousness instead of sin.
Scripture: Ephesians 2:1-5 New International Version (NIV)
“As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions - it is by grace you have been saved.”
