Greetings !
In today's lesson, we saw how Jesus combated the temptations of the devil with
Scripture and won every time! We, too, can learn how to combat the enemy of our
souls in this fashion.
"I write to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God lives
in you, and you have overcome the evil one." (1 John 2:14)
When the Word of God lives in us, so that we are actuated by it, we become
strong spiritually and can overcome the evil one.
However, there is usually a time that we must go through where we do not combat
the evil one in this manner. We must first run from temptation, radically
amputate the source of it, and avoid areas of temptation entirely. This period
of purity from sin eventually leads to power over sin.
May God give us discernment to know whether we should turn and flee or use the
Word and fight. The answer to this dilemma is solved quickly when we examine
the outcome.
