James 4 gives us an interesting warning. He says, resist the devil and he will flee from you.

And then in Ephesians 4, Paul talks about giving a place for Satan. Like, don't do that.

Don't give a room for him in the congregation. What Justin and I want to talk about today is what does

that look like and what is he after? In both of those contexts, and we would say the majority of the

context of the New Testament,

the writers are trying to protect something from Satan. And it's vitally important we understand

what they're trying to protect because technically it's related to our spiritual health and

our spiritual life. And we believe that these are real attacks from Satan. So stay tuned and

find out what it is. Hey guys. This is Justin. Maybe you know that you are forgiven because of Jesus Christ,

but you're wondering what does Jesus have to do with my Christian life? How is he involved

in my sanctification even? Or is he concerned at all with the ways that I struggle and the way that

my life goes up and down? Is there any comfort for me in Jesus when it comes to all of that?

Well, I've written a book called More Than Forgiven, how being in Christ changes everything

that deals with this topic from Romans chapter 6. You can find this book at Theocast.org.

Welcome to Theocast, encouraging weary pilgrims to rest in Christ.

We're still doing that.

Talking about the sufficiency of Christ from a confessional,

reformed, and pastoral perspective.

Your hosts today are John Moffat, who is pastor of Grace Reform Church in Springfield, Tennessee.

And I am Justin Perdue, pastor of Covenant Baptist Church in Asheville, North Carolina.

We are recording here the week of the 4th of July.

We don't normally can disclose things like that. I'm coming back to my vacation.
