For we know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him
Before i became a Christian the devil had me right where he wanted me. A hapless drunk living for my addiction. But then Christ entered my life and taught me how better to live. But about a year later after becoming Christian, that's when the devil really started coming after me. It's been said that once you enlist under the banner of Jesus, then the real spiritual fight starts. I believe this to be true, in spite of the above scripture, and im trying to make sense of it. The devil sees Christians as threats to his dominion and so he attacks them in multitudinous ways. Through temptations and vices and ill temperaments and the world and the flesh and many other ways. But why does this verse say the evil one toucheth not the Christian? All will be seasoned by fire and the Lord uses the devil to test and prove and purify and sanctify us through affliction (or so I've been led to believe) can anyone shed light on this passage? Jesus Himself was made perfect through affliction. The devil never left Him alone for long.
