Publisher's Synopsis
Since the beginning of creation, man and woman are created as two spiritual beings. However, sin came into the world and exposed the nakedness of man. Evil and wickedness have now become a part of man's nature. The serpent that tempted Eve in the Garden of Eden was known to be the devil. However, he came under disguise then exposed the forbidden fruit when he tempted Eve. Eve failed in the temptation, which exposed man to his sinful nature. Although we are living in a physical world, there is spiritual wickedness that keeps taking place without the natural man's understanding. Almost every day, there's violence, killing, and all kind of evil that continues to plague the earth. This is why the scripture tells the readers, "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places" (Eph. 6:12, KJV). However, the word of God gave the believers some spiritual weapons to counter the devil's wicked devices, such as the helmet of salvation, the sword of the spirit, the breastplate of righteousness, the gospel of peace, and the shield of faith (Eph. 6:14-17). This is why the word of God, the Holy Spirit, is our protection.
