About This Quote
The Bible says, "Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." (Ephesians 6:11-12). Our spiritual battle is with spiritual forces that are unseen. For example, we can be overcome by temptations (1 Corinthians 10:13), or we may feel tempted to take shortcuts (James 1:14).
