Episode Synopsis

The sermon, drawn from 1 John 5:18–21, centers on the believer's spiritual freedom and responsibility to resist manipulation by the world, the flesh, and the devil. It emphasizes that those born of God possess a new nature that does not habitually sin, as the Holy Spirit empowers believers to guard themselves against the wicked one's influence. The preacher underscores the believer's active role in maintaining spiritual integrity through submission to God, resistance to temptation, and purification of heart and conduct, all grounded in the truth of Scripture. While Satan seeks to manipulate through fleshly desires and deception, the Spirit works to guide believers toward holiness and truth. The message concludes with a call to remain vigilant against idolatry and to anchor one's life in the true God and eternal life found in Jesus Christ.
