The Devil Is Real. So Is Deliverance. (1 Peter 5:6-11)

Martin Luther once said, “Where God built a church, there the devil would also build a chapel.” Satan hates God. He demonstrates that hatred by hurting those that God loves in any way he can. The epiphany Christ wants us to have is this: the devil is real and very dangerous. But just as real is Christ’s deliverance, for Christ is continually undoing the devil’s work. And through his Word, Christ Jesus also gives us the power to resist the devil and stand firm in the faith.
