Many Christians make the mistake of believing that when they're saved, they become immune to the attacks of satan. Nothing could be further from the truth! As a matter of fact, we're MORE prone to his attack simply because of his desire to damage the cause of Christ. We're going to study First Peter chapter five, verses eight through eleven today.
