# Spiritual Warfare
|
||
|
||
Spiritual warfare is the conflict between God’s people and evil spiritual beings (see: Ephesians 6:12). Satan and his demons try to defeat God’s people by harming them or trying to get them to sin. God’s people fight back by being faithful to God and obeying him no matter what happens to them. Paul used a metaphor of Christians putting on armor to protect themselves from Satan’s attacks (see: Ephesians 6:10-18). In spiritual warfare, angels help God’s people (see: 2 Kings 6:17). Also, angels fight against Satan and demons (see: Daniel 10:11, 13; Jude 1:9).
