Every believer confronts a fierce inner struggle.
Some are taught to ignore it, while others, by misinterpreting it, are brought to confusion. It is vital that those in Christ recognize that they are personally involved in the struggle of good and evil. They are not bystanders in Satan's insurrection against the God of heaven. Confusion on this matter can cause personal spiritual defeat, as well as doctrinal error. The supposition that life in Christ is attended only by favorable and pleasant circumstances is a false one.
