Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like
a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
But resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experiences of
suffering are being accomplished by your brethren who are in the world.
After you have suffered for a little while,
the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will
Himself, perfect, confirm, strengthen and establish you.
To Him be dominion forever and ever. Amen.
1 Peter 5:8-11
It is true the devil sneaks around working
to trip us up so that we will believe that we have fallen from grace. It is also true that God is more powerful
than the devil and undid all his work when He sent His Son, Jesus, to die once
and for all for everyone’s sin. There is
no sin God cannot forgive. All we have
to do is ask forgiveness and confess Jesus as our Lord, Master and Savior and by
this action we undo the devil’s power over us.
We are perfected, confirmed and strengthened
in Christ.
