Know Your Enemy – The Battle for Your Heart
Know Your Enemy – The Battle for Your HeartTheme: Unmasking Satan’s strategies and understanding the true qualifications for eternal life.
Story: Life is filled with offers and approvals—credit cards, jobs, schools—all based on our qualifications. But when it comes to eternity, what qualifies us to spend forever with Christ? Jesus made it simple: “If ye love me, keep my commandments” (John 14:15).
Yet, Satan, the master accuser, exploits our human weakness, making us doubt we’ll ever measure up. From the very beginning, he’s distorted God’s commands, planting seeds of doubt and rebellion, first with Eve and now with each of us. He twists scripture, accuses, and tells us our sin is unforgivable. But God’s answer is found in Christ’s sacrifice.
