The Believer’s Battle With Temptation
The temptation to sin is inevitable. But does that mean we can’t have victory over it? Although every believer is targeted by evil and confronted with temptation that comes in many ways, understanding the principles in God’s Word (as to how we can resist it and triumph over it) will equip and encourage us in our Christian lives. This course is a basic guide to spiritual self-defense. It is theologically sound and intensely practical.
