The Bible describes the constant conflict all believers in Christ face as spiritual warfare.

Spiritual warfare is Satan’s opposition to God’s position, God’s purpose, God’s promises, and God’s power.

Since the day Satan was cast out of heaven, he has tried to usurp God’s position, thwart God’s purposes, spoil God’s promises, and diminish God’s power.

Satan will come against those who keep the commandments of God and testify to their relationship with Christ – Satan hates God and those who believe in God, which is why he attacks us today, and he will continue to attack us until Jesus returns as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, and Satan is finally cast into the Lake of Fire.
