Defeating the 3 Enemies Within (Pack of 10)

Christians have enemies without—the devil, ungodly government, persecutors—but the enemies most likely to keep us out of heaven are within. Flip Wilson was famous for saying, “The devil made me do it.” Although the devil does tempt, he cannot make anyone sin. Have you heard it said of someone, “He is his own worst enemy”? That is true of most of us. The three great enemies to a godly life are lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and the pride of life (1 John 2:15–17). Since Christ will save us from our sins, but not in our sins, we must defeat these enemies.
