Resisting the Devil

All people need to be clear thinking and alert because Satan is a very dangerous adversary to all of humanity. Christians who are in submission to God need not fear the devil because all they need to do is resist him and he will flee, yet they also need to be clear thinking and alert lest they fall for one of Satan's many schemes. Those who are not in submission to God are subject to Satan's trickery and being devoured by him for he will lead them farther astray from truth and righteousness on a downward path to sin. Repentance from sin and faith in the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ is the only solution and protection from Satan.
