3. Believers are at war not only with the devil but also with what the Bible calls the “world,” and the “flesh” (their own sin natures). Satan attacks believers externally through the temptations of this world system, and internally by causing believers to yield to their sinful inclinations. Connect the Scriptures below with their correct interpretation. a. James 4.4 ___The enemy seeks to undermine our commitment to Christ b. Jude 3-4 ___To be friends with the world is to be God’s enemy c. 2 Cor. 11.3 ___The devil accuses believers, seeking to condemn them before God d. Rev. 12.10 ___Deception is the enemies weapon of choice to harm believers in their walk 4. Believers are to take up the whole armor of God in order to withstand in the evil day, and after resisting the enemy, stand firm in the faith. Read Ephesians 6.13-18. Match the parts of the armor of God with the things associated with each piece. a. Belt ___Of salvation b. Breastplate ___Of the Spirit, the Word of God c. Shoes ___Of readiness of the gospel of peace d. Shield ___Of truth e. Helmet ___Of faith f. Sword ___Of righteousness 5. In our spiritual fight, the Lord is our strength and shield, equipping us to do battle against the lies, falsehoods, and deceptions of the devil. a. Read Matt. 4.1-11.
