Venice church of ChristBe sober and alert. Your enemy the devil, like a roaring lion, is on the prowl looking for someone to devour (1 Peter 5:8).
The New Testament speaks of the #adversary, or #enemy, of all #Christians as the #devil.
The devil is the accuser or slanderer. Jesus called him the father of lies.
He is portrayed as actively working to tempt people to do the things they should not do and avoid doing the things they should.
Christians do well to be on guard against his schemes.
