Know your enemy. As children of God, Satan is our vicious opponent, thirsty for the blood of our souls, seeking whom to devour. But he is not omniscient. God is. It is Christ who is the victor, not Satan. What is the balance of power? What exactly can Satan do and what is forbidden him? Can he sabotage our lives? Can he steal our health? Can he sway us to sin? In Fight the Good Fight, Johnson and Rankin unpack the dilemma of Satan vs. God, evil vs. good, and the dual truth of God’s sovereignty and sin’s power. They outline an action plan, providing believers with the tools they need to stand firm against the devil’s schemes. Satan is strong. But theologians such as Frederick Leahy remind us that he is merely “a rebel to whom God gives as much rope as will glorify His name.” Even though Satan wages a genuine war against God and His people, we can be comforted by the love of our God, who permits nothing that is not for His own glory and the ultimate good of His own children.
