2. How can I resist Satan if I give in to him? |
"Jesus came to defeat the work of Satan. He gave his followers authority... to overcome all the power of the enemy (Lk 10:19) and the forces of evil in society." |
3. Why would I let anyone slap me twice? |
"To be struck on the cheek was symbolic of being personally insulted, not physically attacked. To turn … the other cheek meant to ignore the insult." |
"Jesus stood silent before his accusers, allowing himself to be crucified, thereby winning the ultimate battle over the enemy (Col 2:15). Similarly, we can win battles of the heart by turning the other cheek." |
Be encouraged that the more we study the Bible, the easier understanding will come. |
Understanding will 'click' into place |
