Jesus is Greater: What the Bible Teaches about Jesus' Power over Darkness

DAY 5 OF 7

Once we recognize who Satan is and the effect he can have on our hearts, minds, and our broader culture, we can dive further into how we should proceed and live out our faith. 

Ephesians 6:13 tells us that the solution to the problem of evil is to “put on the full armor of God.” What does this mean, you ask? Be in the Word (read your Bible on a daily basis). Be in constant prayer. And live out Jesus’ mandates to love God and love others, balancing truth and love in the process. 

Foundationally, it’s about fostering a genuine relationship with Christ and then building up that relationship, learning and growing in the process. The goal is to have a persistent and flourishing faith throughout the remainder of our lives, partaking in the Bible and prayer in a way that brings nourishment to our hearts, minds, and souls.

How can we stand our ground if we’ve barely made any effort to engage in the solution to the very persistent evil surrounding us? Just as we cannot cure many infections without medication, we cannot ignore God and his Word and expect to be able to stand our ground when evil strikes.

There are many ways to build a solid relationship with God. If this is an area where you struggle, consider a few options to help build up your arsenal of armor:

  • Begin morning Bible studies. Read through a book of the Bible chapter by chapter.
  • Grab a journal and start writing down your prayers to the Lord. (I’ve found this very effective.)
  • Write out a Bible verse each day and place it where it will remind you of God’s love.
  • Schedule time to pray in the morning and in the evening—no matter what!

There’s no reason to fear evil when Christ is on our side. “But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one” (2 Thessalonians 3:3).

We live in an age filled with fear and uncertainty. As Christians, though, we know that the name of Jesus has the ultimate power over the Evil One. We don't have to be afraid, because we know that JESUS IS GREATER than any power we will face in this life!
